- Peptamin jr. is like a pediasure -but with less sugar - so it is a way

to get more calories in these kids without the bad sugars. Now, with that being

said - it does taste rather nasty (I tried it once - figured if I was giving it

to my child I should try too!). There are flavor packets you can get - but

did not like it with this. So, we are now mixing it with whole milk. I

had our pediatrician write a script and got WIC to pay for it. Our dietician

also rec. it - she says it adds an additional 180 cal/day with how much

takes in a 24 hour period. Hope this helps. Jane, mom to (16 months)

Thank you so much for the info. I suppose in the mean time I could get

some Pediasure for when she arrives?

Hey ,

I wouldn't recommend the Pediasure. If she's not into the sugar, why

start??? And according to Dr H, the sugars in the Pediasure blunt the

appetite, and the way it's made makes it harder for our kids to digest,

making them feel full longer.

Hope this helps!
