Pediasure

After 2 months of goat milk, Janelle starts to reject the milk.. each time she only takes in 10 to 20ml the most... some times, once the bottle is put into her mouth, she immediately push it away. Mummy has no choice but to move back to cow milk. Getting BRT help to increase her intolerence limit towards the cow milk, and slowly moved back to cow milk.

Recalled that my neighbour is giving her girl Pediasure as per doctor recomendation to plump her girl up for a ear surgury. After a year, she is in a good weight now. And also one of Janelle classmate was introduced to Pediasure by doctor, because of his eating habit (many things cannot eat) and he is in a good weight too.

Hence did some read up on the formula:
- "The unique formula of PediaSure provides complete and balanced nutrition. Pediasure helps fill the nutrition gaps that can arise out of a child’s fussy eating behavior."
- "PediaSure is clinically tested by scientists, researchers and doctors to help increase height and weight** and strengthen natural immunity in children.*** These findings have been verified and published in scientific journals that are read by pediatricians around the world."

Nutritionally, a Pediasure can has 237 calories (labeled energy on the can, 7.1 g protein, 11.8 g fat, 26g carbohydrate l-carnitine 4mg, taurine 17mg, packed with many essential vitamins and minerals, and water 200g. Not surprisingly, the top of the main ingredients is water, followed by suger (sucrose), maltodextrin (corn), sodium caseinate, high-oleic safflower oil, soy oil, fractionated coconut oil (medium-chained triglycerides), and whey protein concentrate.

Pediasure is lactose free, which they say makes it easily digested. However, it is not for children with galactosemia - G6PD (lacks the enzyme to convert galactose into glucose; galactose in the bloodstream is like poison).

It's seems should be ok. Thought Janelle is not a fussy eater, but because there are things that she cant eat due to her intolerence, hence I decided to give her Pediasure to fill the nutrition gaps and also to increase weight for this skinny girl.

We are now on 100% Pediasure, but her intake wasnt alot too.. a day she properly takes in about 500 ml but is better than goat milk intake.
