Get Moar fat into my baby. page

[Tribal Rob]

Quite a serious issue from me for a change.

Little on who is 15 month old, has no teeth and is mainly breast fed but is taking in some food through baby-led weaning has incredably hard poos, that are also MASSIVE, to the point it is clearly painful for her to take a dump, and last time it caused some bleeding, not good good her face looked like this .

I'm looking for ideas to get moar fat into in her diet, obviously not fiber - she don't need any more bulk. We eat a lot of greens with butter, but she can't eat leaves as she just can't chew them, she does demolish broccoli so we butter that up, we give her eggs with butte, and she eats things like creamy strews and bolognaise with fatty mince (oh and she love propper dark chocolate)

But we are really finding it hard to think of extra fatty things she can gum (teeth are coming - you can see the white lines on the gums now, but knowing her it will be another 5 months before they actually come out )

Thanks

just give her butter straight up. DS loves getting a "cut of butter" and he's been getting "cuts of butter" since he was about 10 months old. He just stole the first one, and since then, he's practically a "butter thief."

("butter thief" one of baby Krishna's nick names -- when he was also called Krishna Gopala -- because he used to go around the village and break into ladies kitchens and eat all of the butter. this is why there is a tradition to hang the butter from the rafters in the middle of hte kitchen -- babies will eat it all!).

Avocado, guacamole, coconut oil, soft cheeses, macadamia nut butter, soups with cream and butter! Mashed potatoes with lots of butter and cream

I shall try staight up butter and coconut oil - I am predicting a very slippery baby
gonna try some sweet potatoe with butter and cream tomorrow too - good plan thanks

I seem to remember she was rather non-plussed with avocado, but I like so I can always eat if if she dosn't go for it.

Does she eat any carb sources besides veggies?

The dark chocolate might not be helping. Delicious though it is.

Hey Zachamix, did anyone ask you to pitch in about any fucking carbs? No? Then why do you feel the compulsion? Are you really this much of an obsessed sick fuck that all you do all day long is blather on about your stupid shit in every thread you can find on this site?

You could whizz up frozen bananas with double cream in a food processor - she might go for that, and the cold might be nice if she's teething!

Wow, you have some issues.

Butter. Kids will suck on butter. Full-fat sour cream was fed to us till we were teenagers in the good old times as well.

EDIT: you can also set any rich broth (with some boiled meat or fish if you wish) with gelatin into soft version of Russian holodetz or French tourine.
