Hi Tammy. I’m not sure if this would work for your son or not
becasue you said he has ADHD and can’t have corn syurp. if he can
have regular sugar’s like from fruits then I would try any type of
dried fruit that he likes. A small amount equals one whole fruit and
you can eat a ton of it without really noticing. These days you can
buy almost anything dried. In our cupboards we have the usuall
raisins as well as the golden ones, blueberries, strawberries,
cherry’s, apples, pineapple, mango, apricots, banana chips and
peaches. You could also make a homemade trail mix with any type of
nuts and dried fruit and if you like a bit if pretzles and some mini
chocolate chips or m-n-m’s to sweeten the mix. We also add cereal if
we are in the mood. Cheerios, chex, kix, etc…
My son who will be two this month also has trouble with weight gain.
He was in the 10% for his height and weight untill last month. I had
to take him in every other week for weight checks. He’s up to 20%
now and we are still keeping track but not every moment like it
seemed before. It will happen for your son soon. 🙂
