LB is so picky at night that he often doesn't eat more than a few bites. I've tried feeding him different foods, or at different times, but he just isn't a big fan of eating after 3pm. That would be fine, I don't want to push the issue, but he wakes up at 6am or earlier starving! So I've started to trick him.
Instead of a cup of milk before brushing his teeth, he gets a cup of Pediasure. That stuff has, like, 240 calories in just one cup and lots of protein and stuff. It says on the bottle that it can be used as a meal substitute, although I don't want to go that far- LB still has to eat something (per me). But at least he's been sleeping more at night, which means so have I! And the more he eats, the more I'll substitute milk for the Pediasure, but right now my main concern is him not waking up to a growling belly at 5am.
It's 7:50am right now.... LB went to bed last night at 7:30pm, fell right asleep, and I haven't heard a peep from him! I'm so loving this Pediasure stuff. :)
