I was wondering if anyone knows about a menu available for blended food diets for g-tube feedings? My son is 20 months old and has CP--complicated by weak neck muscles. He is 100% g-tube fed, and i am really tired of giving him food out of a can, as it is not proving to work well for him, ei. throwing up, digestion issues and weight lose issues, and he can't take a lot of volume at a time.
He has no nutritional issues, allergies, ect, and i want to making him blended food.
Can anyone help me get started with this? ANy books or resource out there that could help me figure this out?

thanks.
