Poor Bum

Well Jared has issues with food. Number 1 issue is that he doesn't eat it. He is now 20 months old, and weighs 22 pounds fully clothed and with a diaper on. He has always been a tiny guy, but he isn't packing on the pounds. He is in the 80% for height and 5% for weight. He is seriously a toothpick.

Anyway he has favorite foods but he has an allergy or sensitivity to them. Fruit! Oranges, Pineapple and other acidic fruits, and juices. Finally something he will eat from time to time, and he can't cuz almost as soon as he is done eating, he has tummy issues and then a major rash on his bum. POOR GUY!

He also loves his cheese but that causes the opposite problem, then he can't go for days and days! Can't have that. That's miserable.

Poor Goober.

Aw... poor little bum! :) I hope that he decides to like the veggies too! Can he eat those w/o hurting his body at all??? Aiden is the complete opposite unfortunately! lol... the kid can eat for days- AND is beginning to look it! ACK! The good thing about that though is that his head "looks" as if it has began to grow. **Fingers Crossed! :)

Hey... if you need any help cleaning, I'm there girly! :)

Our kids are SO completely opposite. It's weird to think they're actually related! :) Hope you can find something he can eat AND tolerate in that little body of his. :)

That is no fun! Leighton doesn't have much trouble with food, but with way too much fruit and watermelon especially he gets a rashy bottom. I live by bag balm. That stuff works!

Oh man! All we could get Britton to eat at that age was hot dogs and chocolate milk. She hasn't expanded too much from there. I hope you guys can find something that won't mess him up.. or do they counteract each other?
