What are some good fatty foods for LO?
Yogurt
Peanut butter (pedi said ok to try)
Avocado
-
Steak, butter, cheese (dairy things in general), salmon, pork.
-
Cook her foods with lots of butter and olive oil. Whole milk cheeses are good too.
-
Butter and cheese on top of other things (veggies, etc.)
-
Butter in/on everything, and cheese on top of everything! Bananas, salmon, and cottage cheese as well.
-
Oh, and olives! I had no idea until recently. My lo LOVES them! We get them on our pizza just to give them to her.
-
Avocado oil and coconut oil! I use both for baking and frying/sauteeing. LO is really into breads lately, so I made a cheese and zucchini bread with avocado oil... fat, dairy, and veggies all hidden inside
-
@mediagirl: Oh man. I gave M an olive recently and she was HORRIFIED. Like seriously offended that I would offer her such a thing.
-
I know your LO is younger but here are some things you could try at that age
butter or olive oil on all veggies
cheese on everything
olives
ground beef
pasta in cream sauce
breakfast sausage
bacon
hummus
cream cheeseI read your other thread and TBH, my son has a really, really caloric diet in part because he is so small. And he eats well and always has but he's just a peanut. If I ate his diet I'd gain a bunch of weight
-
@mediagirl: Gag me........bad enough she likes peas....I have to try olives.
@MamaMoose: Stupid question, but I just buy regular cheddar cheese, right? -
also you can do stuff like beef stew and give her the stew pieces!
-
@winniebee: I think she is just small too. I think she should just enjoy it while she can. I see her thighs, takes after her Mommy, so she won't always be small!
We buy the lean ground beef.....And we tried turkey sausage and she couldn't chew it. Even though she has 5 teeth. -
@Smurfette: I didn't say WE eat olives...
Oh and @winniebee has a great suggestion with the beef stew pieces. They are soooo tender and fall apart so they are easy for those younger eaters!! -
@winniebee: I think DH will love this, any excuse to eat more beef
-
@Smurfette: have you tried pre-cooked breakfast sausage? I think we get Jones brand (no casing). Just cut it up into thin slices and even halve them after that. i think around 9 months is when my son was really able to pound those puppies and he only had a few teeth
-
@winniebee: That is what we tried, it was frozen. It was turkey sausage, but still it was too tough for her. I had to fish it out of her mouth. I will try it again with some full fat sausage.
-
Ricotta cheese (full fat) and pasta is a fave at our house!
-
@Smurfette: it might be too early but try again in a bit!
also you can make pancakes with whole milk and full fat butter and break it up real small for her
