going raw with a toddler...

[kofimama]

Hello!

I've got a 2 year old with multiple food "allergies", growth issues (has a freaking feeding tube), eczema, etc. I've known for a long time that all of his issues stem from his birth process (home birth to emergency c-section). His gut got wiped out, first by not coming into the world via the birth canal, and second, by the antibiotics we were both exposed to. We've struggled for two years to get to this point and now we're feeding him raw meat, this is day 4. Both of us, Mama and Papa, are on board too. We'd love to connect with other parents who are feeding their kids this way. So far, we're all elated and feeling great, but would love some support and to hear other's stories...Best, Diane and Kofi

Welcome to the forum. I don't have kids but I started this thread a while ago you might want to see.

  Welcome to the forum! Nice to see more parents getting their children to do this sort of diet.

I don't have kids but when I do (hopefully, one day) I plan on raising them on a raw paleo diet.  Of course I believe in allowing children as much freedom as they want so if they choose to eat other foods that's fine but the only food I will be providing is raw paleo foods.  I just need to find me a cavewoman.

Probiotics work too.  But take it yourself first.
Therapeutic doses.

Do you breastfeed? Though cow breastmilk is not paleo, i'd believe human milk is being raw and from a human and has been noted to boost immunity and at such an early age the baby should digest it well and encourage growth and brain fuction for the baby. But you may have a hard time because circumcision disrupts breastfeeding =( that is unless you kept the baby whole which is awesome!
