Hi Christal Does your son drink pediasure or something? My son

(18mos) won't eat anything, but guzzles pediasure. I wish he would

eat, but atleast this is something.

Yes my son drinks a lot of pediasure (3-4 cans a day) and he also likes the

scandishakes mixed with juice (I have raised eyebrows with that but he likes it

and it takes like a vanilla/apple or punch shake). I try to limit his pediasure

intake so that he will eat some but it usually doesn't work. At least between

the two I know he is getting most of the calories he needs. And as I said

before he is gaining weight good at this point, now that he is on the enzymes,

but he is fairly small still (only 20th%) but hopefully with time his appetite

will take off and he will start gaining good.
