May 21, 2014 - First experiments

My first experiment with blended food was an easy one. I decided to do a simple spinach and coconut water mix. The first batch that Lucas got on the 19th was a small 50mls but it was a success! He didn't gag or gulp with it at all. The bonus too was that his stomach was still soft afterward. 

The concoction was a bright green mixture (see below) that doesn't at all look apetizing. Looking at the bag made me very thankful that he doesn't have to taste it.

After another lengthy discussion with the dietician we were reminded again to start slow. With the summer months approaching and the need for more fluids the timing is great. 

I am only slightly reluctant about one thing. In order to get his calories with this diet he will have to be eating more frequently because the volume is larger. Over time I am sure I will feel differently about it.

Round one was a success!
