Is PediaSure A Safe Drink For Infants?
Hi doctor. I am asking for my son who is 12 months old. He is weighing only 8 kgs, we were giving similac around 32 oz a day, dal rice and banana milkshake everyday. In our recent paed visit we asked if we can introduce pedia sure and doctor said to go ahead. Is it good to introduce pedia sure coz I have been seeing a lot of reviews on Google to not introduce pedia sure until 2 years. Please let me know any vegetarian foods, formula to give my kid to increase his weight . Thanks in advance

Hi,
You have a good healthy child and pediasure is recommended after 1 year of age at least. But I would recommend you to give him natural food products like potatoes and cheese to increase the weight. But still if you want then pediasure is safe option but after one year of age.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
