Is there a healthy alternative for Pediasure?!


Question: My daughter gets it perscribed to her because she doesn't eat, but it makes her sick. I don't know what to do she has always had a problem eating and it seems like there is nothing, but garbage calories in Pediasure. Is there something better for her that I could give her that would get her eating and not fill her up with garbadge calories?

This is a tough one, because your baby needs the nutrients. Maybe you should talk to your Dr. about an eating clinic for your daughter. Or consult a children's hospital for eating. I have a friend whose son does not eat and it is a really tough thing to deal with. But this service has helped them learn how to cope with the eating and the side effects because of it (like frustration on your part, fighting - how could you not etc.). So maybe contact them, if you haven't already.

Pediasure is often prescribed for tube feedings so I wouldn't necessarily call it garbage. Speak with your MD anything other than what you see in the grocery store you are going to need a RX for.

Pediasure has completer nutrition, but is not the healthiest. could you try making her smoothies with yogurt and fresh fruit? You could blend it really smooth and see if she'll take it. The idea of contacting a hospital is also a good one.
