Neocate White Sauce

This recipe is adapted from that on page 19 of the Guide to starting Neocate booklet

Ingredients
1 T nuttelex
1 T rice flour (made in TM)
60 ml water
2 scoops neocate

Method
Place all ingredients in TM
Cook for 3 minutes at 60 on speed 4

Stir through an extra T of water to make it more of a sauce just prior to serving

This made quite a lot of sauce and I mixed with rice, chicken and veges from our dinner.

Verdict

Kate liked it - she ate a fair bit and it seemed to hold the rice, veges and chicken together and make it more into a baby food meal rather than the meat and 3 veg meal it was for us (w/o the neocate white sauce)

Neocate custard

We are fortifying Kate's foods with neocate in order to try and get some weight on her. I want to keep breastfeeding her so the idea is to get neocate (an elemental non-allergenic formula) into her foods rather than giving in a bottle.

This recipe is adapted from that om page 18 of the Guide to starting Neocate booklet

Ingredients
150ml water
5 scoops neocate
3 teaspoons of rice flour (made in TM)
1 teaspoon of golden syrup

Method
Place all ingredients in TM
Cook for 5 minutes at 90 on speed 4

Makes 1/3 cup or enough to fill a small baby food jar

Verdict

Kate seemed to like it - ate half of it during the day and the rest after dinner when the kids were having their boysenberry sorbet

Fortifying Kate's food

We met with our dietitian today and decided to take the following steps to try and assist Kate with gaining weight:

(1) Fortify her food with elemental formula
(2) Give her 4 solid meals a day
(3) Make sure every meal has protein or good fats (eg Canola oil or nuttelex on veges or pasta)

So tonight I opened my first ever tin of formula! 6 and a half years of parenting and 3 children... I thought I'd escaped without formula but I am thankful to have neocate as an option and am very hopeful that fortifying her food will help her add on some grams, maybe even kilograms?

Weight tonight: 7.23 kg
