Need advice AGAIN Mommies and Daddies ....Pretty Please

Chloe went back to see her specialist yesterday. Well this was a new one her original one retired, I guess thats good because he was going to have her have surgery if her fissure had not healed by now. /this new wants her on a dietary regimen for 2 months to see if we have any luck that way. She wants her on 2 tsp. (increase if needed) of karo syrup a day and 4 ounces of straight apple juice a day. The problem is I tried the apple juice last night and the only way Chloe will take it is diluted half juice and half water and then she will only take a couple ounces and the rest I have to mix in her formula. She really just does not like the juice at all. Even when I put it in her formula it takes her an hour to finish it because she hates it. How did you get your kids to like juice??? Any pointers here? TIA :confused:

I'd just keep trying. It won't take long for her to get used to the thinner consistency of the juice, and to realize, 'hmmm, this tastes a lot better than that formula.' Give her a couple ounces (or as much as she'll take if she'll take more) when she's very hungry, before her bottle of formula.

Bobbi...I work as a nurse in pediatric GI office...... you can PM me here if you want....how old is Chloe? She may be too you to be drinking the juice anyway, and it just doesn't taste right to her...however if she is supposed to be getting the Karo....try putting the syrup IN the juice...

Maybe add cereal to it, but I think the cereal my counteract the juice, I am not sure!!

Is the juice warm when you give it to her? Maybe that would help, but I would definatly keep trying, She will get used to it sooner or later. Good luck hun!! Give loe love for us!
