I guess because they think their kids are not getting the right vitamins that they need!!!!

I give pediasure to both of my daughters who are 2 and 4. They both were normal size at birth but they have a very hard time picking up weight even though they eat from sun up to sun down. My 2 yr old just hit 23lbs and my 4 yr old weighs 31lbs. The pediasure has helped them stay at that weight and even added some weight to them. (they were smaller)
It gives them vitamins and nutrients that a lot of foods don't have in them.

Pediasure is for kids who might not be getting the vitamins and nutrients that they need from what they eat. Pediasure is like a supplement, in liquid form.

When the child doesnot eat at all. Atleast with Pediasure they are getting the right nutrition and vitamins equivalent to a regular meal per bottle.

A lot of kids are picky eaters and If I feel that he/she is not getting the right balanced meals or vitamins I give him Pediasure.

Because likely their child has a nutrition or eating issue where they are not getting everything they need, or are unable to eat solid foods.

When kids have diarea and throw up they are losing fluids. It's to keep them hydrated. It is like Gatoraid but without all the sugar that makes diarea and vomiting worse.

If they are not feeling well and unable to eat properly it helps them get adequate nutrition.
