Starting to feed the toddler with Kwashiorkor's

Starting to feed the toddler with Kwashiorkor's

The Center starts feeding the infant
with a combination of milk, vegetable
oil and sugar plus begins vitamins.
The infant is required to drink two
plastic containers (on the table) in a
day. Sister Anna says she finds boys
drink the liquid better than the girls
for some unknown reason. Sister Anna
requires that the father gets very
involved in the care as part of the
problem for these kids is "failure to
thrive" from lack of attention as well
as food. The staff here gives these
kids lots of loving. As they get
better I find they follow us around the
clinic because they love the attention
they receive.
