With Food or Between Meals

Giving Pediasure between meals rather than just before is generally preferred. This way, the supplement does not reduce the child's interest in eating regular food.

Missed Serving

Pediasure is a nutritional supplement, not a medicine — missing one serving has no medical impact. Simply continue with the next scheduled serving.

Too Much Pediasure

Very large amounts of Pediasure can cause digestive discomfort, loose stools, or suppress regular food appetite. Follow the recommended serving size. Contact your paediatrician if you have concerns.
