Kefir.

Does it help you gain weight? Would you feed it to your child to help it gain weight (instead of cookies and grilled cheese, I guess)?

Re: Kefir.

  • I don't eat it, so no kid of mine is going to be force-fed it.

  • I'm not a mom, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about...but why feed your kid fermented bacterial anything when there's so many less creepy fattening foods??

    It's carrann, btw. She's going to feed it to her baby to help her gain weight. I'm just confused about how that works.

  • No, it doesn't help you gain weight at all (unless the alternative is nothing but water, I guess).

  • Did she get the idea from EmilyKate?
  • That's exactly what I was thinking Duckis. I'd never even heard of the stuff before Therese came into my life.

  • i've heard of kefir, but i have no interest in eating it because no one raves about its deliciousness.  it's not bacon, after all.

    honestly, carrann is like a bottomless well of wtf.

  • But she just posted on FB about how her daughter is perfectly healthy. Why does the kid need to gain weight?
    image
  • It's on her blog. She's just too small, she's been 17lbs since November.
    image
  • But people are a bell curve. So maybe she's small because she's small?

    I get very concerned about people fcking with children's weight, in either direction. Some people are really skinny - she's not going to get any bigger permanently if that's how she's made. Just as there's no way to make fat people skinny, there's no way to make skinny people fat.

  • why is she so damn lazy that she can't do her own writing?

  • kefir really isn't that bad when it's not made in a bathtub/someone's kitchen sink/a still/a crockpot coated with carbon that used to be food

    I'm not sure about it helping pack on the pounds any better than whole milk though. 

    LB that I don't talk about much had to have scandishakes. I don't know how that would be on such a little person, but it's specifically for weight gain.

  • I'm just going to say that 6let is 24 lbs and in the 25%.  If Emily is 17 lbs and not gaining there may very well be a problem.  A problem a professional should be addressing.
