Yes Pediasure does have side effects and you should consult your child's pediatrician before giving pediasure to your child.

Also never give Pediasure to an infant as it can harm the baby if you do so.

Giving your child pediasure can lead to long-term problems including poor eating habits and a strong craving for sweet foods.

Pediasure is high in sugar and has a lot of unnatural ingredients. Pediasure is actually the worst thing you can give to your child to help them gain weight and nutrition.

I agree don't give your child Pediasure.

If your kid is a picky eater then don't worry your kid will not starve themselves.

Believe me I say this from experience as I myself used to be a picky eater when I was a child and my mom would try to get me to eat and I wouldn't eat sometimes all day but eventually I'd decide to eat my food whether it be a few hours later of even at the end of the day.

Your child will decide to eat so don't worry. A lot of parents of picky eating children are too paranoid and think the child will not eat and go for quick fixes like pediasure to make sure they get nutrition.

The best thing you can do is just put the child's food away if they're picky and tell them it's their choice if they're not hungry but they're not getting anything else and eventually they'll decide that they want to eat the food you prepared for them.

You as the parent should decide what is best for your child to eat that is healthy for them to eat.
