Maybe my son won't die if grandma feeds him a bit of
potato or cookie here and there, but personally I feel
a little bit *will* hurt because he will get a taste
for these foods and become a sweet/carb addict.  This
is more my concern for just a little bit.

Thanks.  It is hard work feeding him this way
sometimes but I know it's worth it.  I don't worry so
much about other things because I feel they will work
themselves out, but I am very proactive with his
health.
