To plump my baby up, I am feeding her with extra protein. I try to feed her at least an egg a day, along with fish, Pediasure (albeit I'm only able to force feed her 2-3 scoops a day), soy bean milk and E.Excel's Nutrifresh (which has soy bean protein).
This was Baby C's dinner 2 days ago, consisting of steam egg, steam fish with organic Japanese pumpkin, Nestle chicken cereal and chicken soup. That will be my last time trying to feed my sweetie-pie cereal coz she absolutely hates cereals. After painstakingly feeding her all the above for over an hour, she puked everything out when I gave her the last spoonful of cereal! That's the last straw.... I will forget about cereals and jar food for Baby C, period! Long sigh.....

poor you and poor baby C too. I hope she doesn't feel very "jelak" from eating too much. the dinner sure looks like a lot for someone her age. since you give her soybean milk, could you mix the pediasure in it?
Barb.... yes, that's what I'm doing now - by mixing the Pediasure into her soy bean milk. BTW, though she loves the steam egg, I'm only giving her half the egg in one sitting. Most times, she can't even finish the fish and pumpkin.
no point giving too much until she puke out everything. give just enuf so that the food stays inside to fatten her up! :) good luck! kesian baby C.. but still... go go girl!
Maybe, don't force her too much?? I know you wanna to put some extra kg on her, but, won't doing this, will make her scare of food in future??
Maybe you could try feeding Baby C smaller meals, more frequently. That way, she might be able to keep the food down, instead of one big feed in one sitting. Hope she manages to put on weight before the surgery next week. Will keep her and your family in our prayers.
try mashed potatoes with formula milk and butter......it's really tasty too, and u can even bake it in the oven with some grated cheese.....fattening huh?
Thanks everyone for all the suggestions!
