I COULD USE SOME HELP!!! I HAVE TWO BOYS WITH CF. MY OLDEST IS 5YEARS OLD AND HATES TO EAT. 43 INCHES TALL AND WEIGHS ABOUT 32LBS.
MY YOUNGEST IS 1 YEAR OLD AND HAS SEVERE ASTHMA. 26 INCHES TALL AND WEIGHS 17LBS.
MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN I GET MY OLDEST TO EAT AND GAIN WEIGHT?? ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPERICATED. PLEASE EMAIL ME AT
FLCOKER@AOL.COM

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

I have three children, one with CF. There is no forcing a child to eat but sometimes it helps to encourage them. My 6yr old with CF eats all the time although he is very thin. My oldest whom is a healthy 11yr old rarely eats. Just be patient and in time it will all fall into place. It gets very frustrating especially when a child has an illness because you tend to worry more. Everyday is a challenge but it does get better!!!!
