5.0 out of 5 stars 13lbs to 17lbs in 3 months
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2018
My daughter has been an extremely picky eater since she started solids. At 10 months, she weighed just under 13lbs and was gaining weight slowly. She despises any food with a lumpy texture, making it challenging to introduce table food. Currently, her preference leans towards junk food like cookies and chips, although she does take a few bites of the food I offer. Most of her food intake comes from jars of baby food.

At the doctor's recommendation, I stopped breastfeeding and started offering her cow's milk, which she disliked and never finished. So, the doctor sent us home with several bottles of Pediasure to sample—about 32 bottles, including the three flavors: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.

Upon arriving home, I gave her a chocolate bottle, and she consumed about half before refusing more. The next day, I offered her the strawberry flavor, but she took only a sip before rejecting it. Curious, I tasted it myself, finding it alright, and ended up giving her the remainder of the chocolate bottle, which she drank.

The following day, I opened the vanilla bottle and offered it to her, causing her to get upset, scream, and cry. Wondering if she had developed a preference, I tasted the vanilla one myself. Its taste was so unpleasant that I poured it down the drain, as it wouldn't even be fit for a starving animal. The aftertaste gave me a headache.

Throughout the next month, I continued buying the chocolate bottles, and she gained a total of 2lbs during that time. The following month, while browsing the Target website, I discovered that Pediasure also comes in powdered form. I was excited because it was a slightly more affordable option than buying the bottles. Additionally, the bottles sometimes developed a metallic aftertaste when not finished immediately.

So, I purchased the powdered version on Amazon. However, I wasn't inclined to follow their recommendation of mixing it with water. Firstly, it would mean fewer calories for my baby compared to using milk, and secondly, it just didn't seem appealing. Instead, I created a super high-calorie drink for her, ranging from 380-580 calories. Here's the recipe:

- 1 serving (1/3 cup) Pediasure powder (220 calories)
- 1 serving (1/3 cup) Nido powdered whole milk (160 calories)
- 2 to 4 tbsp heavy cream (50 calories each)
- 4-8 oz water

I incorporate powdered milk because my daughter isn't fond of regular milk, and buying gallons of milk would go to waste. The Nido brand powdered milk actually tastes like real milk once prepared, and using it in the recipe allows me to control the drink mix's consistency. If I want it more pudding-like, I use closer to 4oz of water. If I want it similar to the Pediasure bottles, I use 8oz of water. When I tasted it, it reminded me of hot chocolate drink mix after adding powdered milk. It could even trick kids into drinking it if you microwave it, add marshmallows, and claim it's hot chocolate. However, I haven't had to trick my daughter into drinking it at all.

Since I started giving her one of these drinks a day, she has gained 2lbs in one month. She enjoys it much more than the bottled version, which required constant encouragement to drink. When made with milk instead of water, I would definitely give this powdered drink mix 5 stars. I can't rate it when made with water since I haven't tried it.

If you think about it, it's quite evident why they recommend making it with water. It means your child will gain weight at a slower pace and therefore require multiple drinks.

When my toddler doesn't want to eat much during the day, pediasure is my go-to solution. The taste is great, especially the strawberry-flavored one, which is my daughter's favorite. These drinks provide essential vitamins and nutrients. If you have a toddler or baby who is sick or having a hunger strike ;), I highly recommend these drinks.

Been getting these for a few months now since one of my kids is under weight. The taste is really good (chocolate). The directions say to mix with water but if you mix with whole milk you will get a lot of extra calories. My kiddo is slowly putting on weight.

It is a bit pricey.

This is not a substitute for a meal. Have your little one have it with a meal or a snack

My very picky almost two year old loves these. She's always asking for shakes. Directions recommended two shakes a day. I wish it wasn't so expensive, but subscribe and save helps with that a bit.
