Why not buy the nutritional shakes that are made for kids their age? Pediasure, etc. Look in the pharmacy area of your grocery store.

Give them Pediasure. It's a great supplement and tastier than formula. Also try to get them to take daily vitamins (Flinstone Chewables are good). Ask your pediatrician for other suggestions before jumping into anything. Good luck!

I'd stay away from the baby formula...way too many calories! It is intended for the first year of life when you grow the most and need all those calories!
If you don't give them the unhealthy choices, they'll have no choice but to eat healthy.

They actually make pediasure just for this reason. Its a nutrient booster drink esepcially made for children who's diets are lacking.

no, but you can give them pediasure or ensure to supplement their meals. Your kids may eat better if they get to help prepare it..

No I don't think that's a good idea. Have you tried PediaSure?

i think maybe you should try a vitamin tablet and you can get 'junk food and even bread and milk etc that now contain extra vits etc for fussy beggars like your two. xx
