Have you tried any type of baby food?  Even the baby rice cereal?

I'm sorry you are going through this. Is he starting to have trouble chewing and swallowing? Will he eat vanilla yogurt or pudding? Will he take a little pureed in a blender food or soup? Any low salt soup will be blander or almost no flavor tasting.Just puree it up. What about oatmeal with a little extra water so it is not thick? I'll be thinking of you.

The "BRAT" diet is good.  Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast.

Boiled custard would also be a good choice.

@KingstonsMom   A favorite juice....carrots, apples, fresh ginger, lemon.  Lots of carrots and apples....a little ginger and lemon.  It wouldn't be high in acid.  Just an idea.

 

Lots of love and support for strength.🌷

Take a good apple, cut in half and scrape the flesh with a spoon and feed the pulp.  Adding a few grains of salt might be good--or not.

@KingstonsMom, I understand that your DH is also ill.  I want you to know that you both will be in my prayers and devotionals.  I had no idea,  but I do recall thinking that you have such a closely knit and loving family.  All my best wishes.
