I need some help here.  Our youngest is having some issues with putting on weight.  She is 15 months old and weights 20.8 lbs.  The doctor has recommended so many things but nothing is working.  She has a very high metabolism so we need to pack in the calories.  Let me tell you what we have tried.  Carnation instant breakfast (doesn’t like it), Pediasure (doesn’t like it), soy smoothies (doesn’t like them), chocolate and strawberry milk (doesn’t like it).  She drinks vanilla flavor soy milk, about 32 oz a day along with all of the food she eats.  At this point we are putting on jar of baby food bananas in her milk in the morning to give her a boost of calories for the day.

She is a really excellent eater but she just burns the calories so fast.  I am trying to find high calorie foods that she does not have to eat a ton of.  She is little and gets full.  Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated.
