Feeding...




I had a word yesterday with the dietition about Kadens weight which is 8.5kg as i'm a bit cocerned.In October Kaden was weighed and he was 8.2kg and 2 weeks ago when he was admitted to hospital he was weighed again and he hadn't really gained that much.The dietitions plan was to change Kadens feeds during the day to a higher calorie milk and give him less of a bolus so he was still getting the calories but less milk - but with one thing and another this didn't really happen.So i called the dietition to discuss this plan and she told me to chang his feeds to the higher calorie one - which i did as of yesterday.And so far so good..it seems to be agreeing with him.We are still trying to push oral feeds of which seem to be getting sligtly better...some days better than others.Although Kaden seems more interested in trying more things.As long as the foods not too lumpy he'll tolerate some spoonfuls - yesterday he had a small yogurt at lunchtime and a handful of crisps and at tea-time he had 1/2 a yogurt.So we are getting there.But my poor wee boy still looks underfed!!
Day by day Kadens also getting steadier on his feet which is great to watch.
Here's some pics of Kaden today walking..my clever boy.
