Unsure about Pediasure

[twinthing]

Hi,

has anyone used/ or know about Pediadsure (it's an enriched children's milk from the US- not formula) I am considering using it for my underweight twins who are 10 mths old and are still having difficulty with 'baby foods'. Any suggestions?

You can similar milks on prescription here in the UK - why would you use pediasure?

I think one of them problems with foods like pediasure is that it's so much not a 'normal' food - have you tried things like mashed potato made with cream and butter, weetabix with double cream etc?

i'm finding that when i add cream/ whole milk to their food they are getting the runs!so i have to stop using it. The only reason i'm tempted with pediasure is because i won't have to nag the dr for a prescription and can just buy it myself.
