I have not posted a bunch here, but need some advice/ideas from you wise people. A bit of background. . .Reese is almost 2 with significant developmental delays (global skills at about 3 month level) due to a mitochondrial disease. He has feeding issues--he can suck and he can swallow, but not both at the same time. He has no g-tube and refuses a bottle. He his fed by syringe and has no trouble with that. We have dabbled in solids here and there, but he is on the ketogenic diet and solids on the ketogenic diet that he would eat are too oily for him, except avocado which we have tried on and off. He is currently on a blenderized formula of baby food, cream and microlipid. He takes a multivitamin mixed in his formula, so he is getting all his nutrients.<br><br>
We are probably going to transition off the ketogenic diet and I am at a loss for what to feed Reese. We can just make his formula, but not measure it, which I think we'll have to do at first (he's had some difficulty with transitioning to new foods, so I think we'll have to go slow). I'd like to make a blenderized formula that is more nutritionally round than what he is taking now. I'd like to not do pediasure because I don't think he'll like it because he doesn't like sweet and if I can make my own then I know exactly what is going into his little body.<br><br>
Any ideas?
