Picky Eater? Try PediaSure Complete in These Fun New Ways!

Is your child a picky eater? If your child is reluctant to eat common foods or try new food to an extent that disrupts daily routines and causes problems for both you and your child, then he might be a picky eater.

A recent survey* revealed that 41% of Singaporean mothers think their child is a picky eater and that most of them have difficulty incorporating habits that help ensure their picky eaters obtain all the nutrition he needs.

Here are some tips to help you manage your little picky eater:

• Try exciting new foods to keep your child interested (you may try out the recipes below!)
• If your child likes the way you prepare a certain dish, try preparing other foods the same way
• Chop or mince unfamiliar foods finely and add them to your child’s favourite dishes
• Cook favourite meats or vegetables in new ways
• Keep 'junk' foods out of your house as they are low in nutritious value and will spoil your child’s appetite for more nutritious foods

If you are still worried that your child might not be getting all the nutrients he needs, you may also try a supplement such as PediaSure Complete.

PediaSure Complete provides complete and balanced nutrition with all the essential vitamins and minerals, nutrients and micronutrients that can be lacking if your child is picky or has a poor appetite. It also contains Taurine and Choline to support your child’s overall mental development as well as AA & DHA Precursors, the building blocks of the brain and eyes. The presence of FOS (a prebiotic) and probiotics in PediaSure Complete also helps to maintain a healthy digestive system which is essential for the absorption of nutrients.

Here are some interesting PediaSure Complete recipes you can try to make eating fun for your little picky eater:
