Puree

As I have said before, Evan is not a great eater and he is even worse when he is dealing with constipation issues (a result of his Spinal Muscular Atrophy). To get more bang for my buck I add veggie puree's into everything!! Whether it is food I am making from scratch or my lazy meals of pancake mix, spaghettio's, or Mac n' Cheese there is pureed veggies in everything. My family doesn't even know they are getting veggies in every meal they eat! I still offer veggies on the side, but this way I'm not stressed if those veggies are ignored.

I naturally a naturalist. I am not an extremist, but I am very aware of what goes in and out of my families bodies.



Evan is not a great eater. Without getting into too much unnecessary details the fact that Evan is naturally small, has SMA, and is a terrible eater always worries doctors. For a while I would seriously stress out about it, but I have gotten to the point that I understand the way HE grows (I have been watching his growth chart long enough to piece it together), and I am not going to stress about it anymore. I am aware, I will continue to monitor what goes in and what is coming out but I have come to the parental conclusion that if Evan is mostly eating healthy food items I am not going to be overly concerned with a specialized diet just for him. That is my opinion for now.
