Is It Advisable To Give Pediasure Health Drink To Toddler?
Question: .Is it advisable to give "Pediasure" health drink to my 2.5yr son..with the intention to bring some change in his weight and height?
Brief Answer:
Can be taken
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
You can give pediasure 2tsp morning and night with milk. It will certainly improve his weight. For improvement in height I recommend that he plays actively, especially cycling and running daily. I must add here that the final height of a person is genetically already defined at birth and no supplements or hormonal therapy can change it.
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
