      MLR:

      For all those mommies who are concern with their child's eating habits, pediasure is almost always recommended, unless your child has allergies to dairy.

      I would encourage you to go for the \"try it once/ try a bite\" rule with them. Whatever you are eating, offer it to your child and encourage them to try a bite.
      Hi MLR,
      reading your post is like reading about my son. All too similar. When he was younger, he does not like things which are too sweet, sour, pungent etc. We did a skin allergy test for him before and he is sensitive to a lot of things compared to other people. These may be totally unrelated to his eating habit but who knows.
      I also do encourage the \"try it once/ try a bite\" rule. I have tried it for half a year now and it does work. My son now knows that he is not forced to eat anything that he does not like and so is willing to try. There will be times that he finds the new food interesting and likes it. At least he is eating more meat now after I brought him to try teppanyaki.

        My 6 yr old daughter was on Pediasure since 1 year old. Tried downgrading to gain iq since friend claimed its good and cheaper, but she is too used to pediasure and cannot accept the new taste of the latter. I guess its always easier when you want to upgrade compared to downgrading… I would say its very good since it gives the extra calorie with reduced volume.

                Agree it’s not easy to "upgrade" too.

                My K1 has been taking Similac-Gain IQ-Grow, tried switching her to Gain IQ Kids / Pediasure but she don’t like.

                  Hi parents,

                  Are there 2 different types of Pediasure? One called COMPLETE or something like that?
                  I understand that the prices have gone up again?

                      I bought both. (vanilla & chocolate) I even bought the 2 diff types of pediasure. The normal and the other with the purple colour..(dunno wat u call tat) Had even bought soy milk when ds has diarhorea..he simply refuses to drink..he still prefer to stick to a familar taste.

                        That is why when he juz turn 3, I stick to Gain IQ kids instead of trying out GROW. I already predicted the result.
