I serve it until age 2, in a cup, before snacks. I provide.

I like the personal reassurance that they are getting what they need. I serve it as an extra component.

I used to give pediasure but the amount of sugar, coloring and flavoring is no longer preferred. I did not get it at first, but now I do. I only saw that I was doing extra, not undermining my own goal.The goal is to get them in the habit of eating well without our intervention. We want them to choose milk and water. Offering something that tastes like a milkshake teaches the opposite of our overall goal. Sometimes the simplest concepts are the hardest to see.
