What about looking for recipes that are gluten free and just substituting out cow's milk for soy?

I have a recipe for a banana oat pancakes that our whole family LOVES. There's no flour in it.

I make steel cut oats a lot and add peanut butter for extra protein but in your case the extra fat will be good too.

My LO loves carbs and bread a lot too. But I hate serving her empty calories so I'm always making pancakes, waffles, muffins etc that are "healthy" like ^.

You're not a failure!

ETA: also buckwheat is also gluten free.

Will try to think of more carby things I make that doesn't have gluten.

I'm sorry, that must be so stressful! Is your doctor concerned? How much weight loss are we talking here? You said he loves breads and starches- have you tried those gluten free pastas, snacks, and breads they have? We use the gluten free pasta bc of my DH and LO doesnt notice the difference! It's so hard when they are teething to get them to eat anything though, so don't stress too much! my LO hardly eats anything while teething. Have you tried those pediasure drinks? (I think that's what they are called).

@MrsRcCar: I took a toddler cooking class recently and fats are super important. I was surprised to learn a few things (you may already know). My baby is also dairy free so a few things I remembered:

-always give dark meat to children (I used to always cook with chicken or turkey breast--now I use chicken thighs usually)
-fatty cuts of beef are good
-it's okay to use olive oil, coconut oil, almond oil etc. in abundance when cooking. Now I sautee vegetables for LO in coconut oil or olive oil a lot when before I would steam or boil or roast. There's also the Earth Balance dairy-soy free in the red tub for baking and cooking.
-Avocado and nut butters are calorie dense
-make every bite count, in terms of calories.
-also, for carby stuff that LO WILL eat, there are tons of gluten free recipe online. You can just substitute almond milk and earth balance if the recipes aren't dairy free to make them both gluten and dairy free.

I agree that coconut cream is delicious and fattening. Use coconut cream in place of milk in cooking recipes to fatten them up, like thai curries with coconut cream, lentils with coconut cream, etc.

This recipe is fantastic and delicious, and you can substitute coconut cream for more richness and added fat: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/coconut_creamed_corn.html

@Anagram: we cook dark meat a lot because it's closer to the bone hence more iron!

@MrsRcCar: hm seems he is picky too. So what does he like to eat? I would expand on that.

@Anagram: significantly. They have 3 flavors and my kid drank all of them. I wasn't the happiest because they were definitely sweetened but he was FTT and I had to do something and he would not take the neocate formula.

@MrsRcCar: I got a sample from his Gastro and then just ordered it by the case from the neocate website.
