My focus is usually on making sure she gets enough fluids, so I usually offer soup/broth, Popsicles, pouches, water flavored with a splash of juice, pedialyte, and similar things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-leniency-when-sick#post-2379317 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 13:15:01 +0000 MoonMoon 2379317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely-esp with fluids. Being on juice, smoothies, popsicles etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-leniency-when-sick#post-2379301 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 12:44:10 +0000 Cherrybee 2379301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, absolutely. Mind, I'm pretty lenient anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-leniency-when-sick#post-2379299 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 12:42:41 +0000 littlejoy 2379299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our girl didn't eat much for an entire week. Mostly snacked from what we had, if anything. Fluids are much more important. You could always do a pedialyte type drink too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-leniency-when-sick#post-2379297 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 12:31:16 +0000 erinbaderin 2379297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, Bennett had a cold and a fever last weekend and basically ate peanut butter crackers and applesauce for two days. I figure a bad diet for a few days isn't going to hurt him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-leniency-when-sick#post-2379295 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 12:24:01 +0000 regberadaisy 2379295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my girls are sick I'm more concerned that they're actually eating, due to lack of appetite, and that they're getting enough fluids.<br /> For lunch I heated up roast pork tenderloin and roasted broccoli. My 15m wouldn't touch any of it but I wasn't concerned since she still nurses. 3.5 ate all the broccoli but no meat. She asked for cuties instead and I obliged.</p> <p>Are you more lenient with eating habits when they're sick? </p>
