Hi my sons doctor has suggested to feed him a lot of fat so any ideas for fatty foods would be great.

My daughter's doctor had us add olive oil to her foods. Peanut butter also worked well for her

Healthy Fat Foods for Toddlers:

Avocado: Try rolling up some crushed avocado into a tortilla as a tasty little snack. Avocado slices with apples are another tasty and healthy fatty treat that children may like. I also do a bannana avocado smoothie. 1 Bannana and 1/ avocado, blend it with a little milk and you got "slime." Also guacamole, fun dipping snack loaded with healthy fat.

Peanut Butter: A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is one way to pack on some added fat in your son's diet. He may also like peanut butter and apples or peanut butter and celery. Anything with peanut butter on it or in it is a way to a high fat yet healthy diet.

Cheese: Whole milk cheeses such as cheddar, Monterey jack, or mozzarella are perfect for adding some healthy fats into your sons's diet. Most kids love cheese sticks or those little cheese shapes that come in the bag. You can add cheese to nearly anything that your toddler eats to increase the fat content in your child's diet. The healthy fat in cheese along with the vitamin D from the milk is a great addition to a child's diet.

Fish: While children should have a limited intake of fish that are high in mercury content such as tuna and salmon, there are plenty of fish options that are still high in omega 3 fatty acids which are excellent for your health. Most kids love fish sticks and some even like fish sandwiches so try to get your children to eat fish at least 2 times per week for healthy fats.

Olives: Chop stuffed olives about 6 or 7 and mix them into two table spoons of cream cheese that has been softened. Spread the olive and cream cheese into celery sticks.

I don't suggest doing the butter thing because most of the time a lot of margarine actually has Trans Fat which is very unhealthy.
