Hello,
I am a raw mom of a raw baby, BUT... I feel often that he doesnt want to eat those fruit and veggies...I still breastfeed (4 or 5 times a day, sometimes even more) and I give him soft fruits like bananas avocado strawberries watermelon cucumbers apples... And I feel that he rejects it, sometimes he is even disgusted, he looks at the tray and doesnt touch anything unless he sees that I mean it and he has to...But when his father starts to eat some bread or pasta (unfortunately he is not raw, but eats much fruit) my son is mad after his meals, MAD. So my husband gives him...He is not so mad after fruit usually, and I feel so frustrated because I want him to be raw. Is it possible that my son doesnt want to be raw?
Another frustrating thing is that he spits everything out, only bread not. He spits at every meal every bit. He sucks the juice out of it and spits it, he has 8 teeth, and other kids around him in his age eat totally normally. I dont have any idea how much he eats at a meal actually...Is there any possibility to stop it? Dr. Graham, I read that you have a raw child, could you suggest what would you do to "repair" my baby`s eating habits?
BTW, he is quite small for his age, only 73 cm, that is 28,7 inches, and weighs only 8,1 kg (16 pounds)... Doesnt he need some more protein? I know you say that there is enough protein in fruit and vegetables, but I am afraid that he will always be small.
Thank you so much for any suggestions,
Erika (loving and worried mother)
