About Me

Hertfordshire, UK
I am a very lucky Mum to two beautiful daughters, known here as Moomin and Gremlin. My second gorgeous girl, Gremlin (above), has PKU (Phenylketonuria) and has introduced us to a whole new world! This blog is intended to record our journey with regards it, particularly focusing on food and eating.

A typical day's food - 8 months

Just to share, for the record.

Gremlin is eating well and enjoying her food again. I have overcome the stalemate of spoon feeding hell by offering finger foods at every meal. This enables me to get the enforced spoons of gel and protein in before letting her play with the protein free bits and bobs. She seems to know what's coming when and always expects her gel and protein first, as that is the way we always do it based on GOSH advice.

First thing - 100ish mls PKU Start formula

Breakfast- 1 sachet gel (spoon fed)
28g Farleys Rusks mixed with PKU Start milk (spoon fed) - 2 EXCHANGES

She usually has a long nap in the morning so rarely has a snack or drink at this time.

Lunch- 1 sachet gel (spoon fed)
54g Hipp Organic Vegetable Lasagne (spoon fed) - 2 EXCHANGES
Home made ratatouile, sweet potato and parsnip (spoon fed if allowed)
Cucumber sticks (finger food)
Nectarine (finger food) and strawberries (finger food)

Snack- 7g = 3 Organix Rice Cakes (finger food)- 0.5 EXCHANGE

Dinner- 1 sachet gel (spoon fed)
Home made tomato, carrot and basil with 18g petit pois (spoon fed)- 1 EXCHANGE
Additional plain tomato, carrot and basil until satisfied!
Sweet Potato wedges (finger food)
Organix fruit pot (spoon fed if allowed)
Plum, pear or kiwi (finger food)

Bedtime- 90mls regular formula (1 EXCHANGE) followed by up to 150ish mls PKU Start formula

And relax..........!
