Were going on our 4th month! I swear my child has been eating non stop for almost 4 months! Within 15-30 minutes of eating she wants to eat again. This week she's been on Carafate because her tummy is full of ulcers again and its been hard because she acts like she's starving having to go 3 hours between meals. We've up'd the fat and calories help her feel full but to no avail. In 3 months she's grown 3 inches and gained 3 lbs despite a serious amount of vomiting the last week. I actually thought they weighed her wrong and made them reweigh her because last month she was 31.5 lbs and this month she's 34! She's become a bottomless pit. Its not that I'm not happy she's growing and gaining after always being such a slow gainer but I'm tired of having to fix something every few minutes. I tried making a bunch of little snacks she could help herself to but she refuses to get in the fridge because "its cold" and she doesn't want to put on clothes to do it (nakey butt) and she's decided she doesn't want leftovers. In 4 hours time she has eaten a 1 cup of Irish oatmeal, 2 cups of fruity & cocoa pebbles, 3 large carrots, 2 peaches, a small candy cane, 8oz of rice milk, 4 slices of bologna and something else I cant remember. Not the healthiest but I'm sick with the stomach flu so its what ever mommy can fix in 60 seconds or less today. She's been eating this much for months from the time she wakes up till bed time and even wakes up at night wanting to eat. I thought 4 yr olds were supposed to live on air and fairy dust?
ps: yesterday she had just eaten 4 regular size banana muffins and half a bag of carrots when I picked her up at the sitters and as soon as we got home (15 min tops) she was hungry again and ate 2 slices of pizza!
