Ok..so my 25 month old dd was "diagnosed" with 4 cavities when she was 18 months old. They are very deep and you can see the dark brown holes in her teeth. (Awful looking 
)
Issue number one: I still nurse her but she is very underweight and does not eat healthy foods at all! Never has. I tried (as I did with dd#1) doing all the right things...like I tried making her baby food with wholeorganic fruits and veggies, she would not eat....I bought organic canned baby foods, she would not eat! I waited and just gave her healthy table foods that we were eating...she would not eat. She weighed 18 pounds at her 2 year check up. The dr. freaked out! That along with her teeth, was enough to drive me over the wall!
The dr. told me to give her whole milk (organic of course!) with chocolate pediasure mixed in. I also bought and gave her Nutrapal bars (full of ingredieants that I do not know what they are!) ....She has been eating and drinking that and has gained weight for the first time! I am very happy about that. The problem is: i know that she is not eating HEALTHY and she is also set to go to Children's Hospital (now that she has some weight gain) and get stainless steel caps for her teeth.
WHAT DO I DO? Where in the world do I start?
Thanks so much ladies
