B.R.A.T.

Trouble has been sick for DAYS. Yucky sick... you know what I mean sick. His doctor gave him medicine to stop the vomiting but advised that I give him the BRAT foods to help his gastrointestinal distress. BRAT stands for bananas, rice, apple sauce, & toast. Another version of the diet is BRATTY (with tea & yogurt). Sounds fantastic right?! Especially for a boy who, for some reason, only wants to eat sour cream and onion pringles and goldfish crackers.

banana
This one was easy! Luckily Trouble loves bananas and getting him to eat one today was a breeze.

rice
This one is Trouble's least favorite. I added lots of butter and salt, which he does like.

apple sauce
I let Trouble pick out the apple sauce. He got a kick out of the fact that this is in a pouch. Hey...whatever floats his boat. I'm desperate!

toast
This was by far, his favorite food of the day. I gave him toasted cinnamon bread, lightly buttered. I even got a, "You are the best mom in the world!"

I can already tell he's on the mend. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the medicine and everything to do with the cinnamon bread.
