Z’s appetite

The hardest part of rearing Z is having him eat enough quantity and quality food. It’s like he is using appetite suppressants – if he was overweight it would be welcome but currently he needs to eat more. Both my wife and myself were also thin when we were young so the way Z is turning out is expected. But we want Z to at least have some more meat under his skin. We just had a check up with a pediatrician, and she said that Z was thin – but he is not yet under weight. Although she did urge us to watch what Z is eating. Z has to avoid his favorite junk food, cookies and powdered juices. Instead he needs to eat bread and have enough vegetables. The pediatrician mentioned that Multivatimins does not help with gaining weight – it only helps provide nutrients that Z is not getting in his current diet. So for her – the best solution is to have a good pattern and discipline when it comes to eating. Even though this is going to entail hard effort and patience – we are commited to see this through so that Z will be just a bit fatter than his parents.
