I tried a little bit, and that stuff is awful. Plus the first two ingredients are milk and sugar, so we just stuck to encouraging more milk at mealtimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-their-kids-pediasure#post-622630 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:09:54 +0000 Cole 622630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a family who tried to convince their daughter to drink it at breakfast time because she had a hard time eating first thing in the morning and more often then not she would refuse to eat at school. (They had chatted with the ped about it, obviously they had some food issues going on.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-their-kids-pediasure#post-622557 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 20:59:10 +0000 brownie 622557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We can't do pediasure because it contains soy protein. But we do nestle kids boost and neocate eo28 splash. My son was failure to thrive and it was prescribed for weight gain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-their-kids-pediasure#post-622538 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 20:55:43 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 622538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsStormy: Yup, good point. What kid wouldn't rather drink a shake than eat broccoli? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-their-kids-pediasure#post-622533 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 20:54:44 +0000 MrsStormy 622533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone we know gives it to their child because they don't eat well, so they use that so they can get the nutrients, however I think it has simply made their child even more unwilling to eat actual food since she would rather have that, sort of a lose lose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-their-kids-pediasure#post-622493 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 20:49:38 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 622493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From what I've heard, stuff like Pediasure is pretty unnecessary unless your kid is really underweight. I think it has a lot of sugar, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-their-kids-pediasure#post-622480 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 20:48:06 +0000 mrs. wagon 622480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope... we do give him a multivitamin though!</p> <p>We gave him pedialyte when he had diarrhea. he didn't like the flavored ones! he only drank the plain one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-their-kids-pediasure#post-622455 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 20:44:45 +0000 chopsuey 622455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering!<br /> If so, why? Just for added nutrition? </p>
