GOOD Afternoon: I Recently Spent One Week With My Nephew
GOOD afternoon: I recently spent one week with my nephew age 31/2 and observed the following. I tried to provide many recipes for his nutrition. he looks at it and just says no. His mother feeds him what he asks for and consequently having a bowel movement is impossible. he eats these pancakes with chocalte chips that are full of junk. eats some grill cheese sandwich. his mother fed him chick nuggets..and chocolate ice cream..cookies that are oatmeal..and I made bananna bread and pumpkin bread, apple muffins. I explained that although his pediatrician recommended these gummie bears for fiber..how do you expect him to have a bowel movement w/out food...next observation is that when he observes his father asleep becomes so anxious crying that he has to go leave the room. I am not sure how much is from a behavior and or just parents who do not say no...no ..no. I finally asked how they let this toddler dictate what he eats?? I did serve him corn on the cob..but no fruits, vegetables...he does eat noodles with sauce.. I tried, but he refused?? please advise of a book for nutrition i can purchase. thank you
