Apple Sauce

[Peek-A-Boo Momm]

Alex has been eating very good, this morning he ate 2 teaspoons dry, 1 teaspoon wet and about 1/4 of a teaspoon apple sauce -- he seems to eat better with a little apple sauce mixed in. I do leave his dry out all day. Will the apple sauce hurt him? As you know the first couple of days at home he wouldn't eat good so I tried the apple sauce now he loves to eat. He will even sit at my feet and cry while I'm fixing his food and when I put it down he dives in. He eats about 4 times a day that mix and his dry off and on during the day. Could anybody please tell me something about the apple sauce! Thanks

Apple sauce should be fine, in small quantities - my Lucy eats raw apple quite happily, so as long as the sauce isn't sweetened (or out of a jar), I think you can stop worrying - especially if it helps him eat.

Apple sauce will not hurt him if it is given in moderation.
I'm not sure if any companies add artificial sweetener, so read the label carefully.

what is a good apple sauce to give him? I have the one in the jar -- but he gets about 1/4 or less of a teaspoon. Thank yall

The kind in the jar in fine. If you don't want him to have the sugar, they do make a kind with only apples as an ingredient.

I would recomend using the all natural applesauce which does not contain any sweetners such as high fructose corn syrup which is very unhealthy for our little yorkies.

I give mine applesauce periodically. I get the natural kind

I give Pistol baby food applesauce. No sweeteners, no fillers, no corn syrup, and all apple. He doesn't get it everyday, he sometimes gets blueberry baby food too. The First foods jars are small so not much waste.

Layla will occassionally get pure apple sauce (no sweetner added- JUST apples) or baby food "apple" which is just apples too- i usually mix it with yogurt.
