Pediasure's ordeals continued with my son. During that time, we took a vaccation outside the country. Soon we started running out of .. Pediasure , whatever we carried with us. This time instead of milk..we tried giving him food to eat. Since there were distractions around him - new place , lot of traveling etc... he wasn't too bothered by it. He in fact started eating something.
Instead of forcing / scolding , every time he took a bite ... we started making it a Huge deal by giving him lots of hugs, kisses and praising him all the time. Occassionally he even got a small gift, whenever he finished whatever he had on his plate.
Willingly/unwillingly he ate food to survive. He surprisingly did it quite well. He started having all 3 meals. How did that happen? We slowly reduced his milk intake at night. Whenever he asked, we gave him water....through out the night. That made him very very hungry as soon as he got up. He ate good breakfast..lunch and dinner soon followed.
We realized.. My son's eating habits improved drastically with kids of his age around. Whenever he met kids of his age... he wanted to eat whatever they wanted to eat. As soon as he realized other kids his age ate different things, he also wanted to try them. We started socializing more and having play dates. He started eating better. He had milk too .. twice a day.
He also got his dental surgery done. We saved his teeth!!!
