"Pediashur": reviews, instructions, prices. Reviews of parents about a dry infant formula "Pediashur"

Few parents heard about the mixture of "Pediashur". Healthy babies do not need it at all, but babies who have had a serious illness, an operation or have a shortage of weight, this remedy is absolutely necessary. However, only your pediatrician or gastroenterologist can prescribe this medication.

Confusion among parents

For Russian citizens, this is a mysterious product ("Pediashur"). Reviews about it vary: some say it is a dry powder for premature babies of Spanish origin, others say that it is a milk drink for children from the year, made in the Netherlands. Confusion arose because of the company-manufacturer Abbott ("Abbott") and its products.

On its official website there are about 19 different types of dry and milk mixtures "Pediashur" with various additives made in Canada, Pakistan, the Netherlands and the USA. The Russian portal of this company presents mixtures of "Similak" and "Pediashur" (1.0 and 1.5). It is in the first catalog of products that dry powder for Similac NeoSure premature babies of Spanish origin is presented, and in the second department there is a mixture of PediaSure. But these are completely different mixtures.

There is one more point that causes doubts among parents. Russian mothers and dads are looking for a dry mix of Pediashur in pharmacies, which can only be found on the company's official website. In Russia, ready-made milk drinks are sold in plastic bottles.

This balanced diet is designed to increase appetite and optimize the nutrition of children between the ages of up to 10 years. A variety of flavors contribute to the fact that the child drinks the mixture with pleasure, getting the necessary complex of vitamins, protein, minerals.

If, however, to indulge children's moods and allow the child to eat selectively, then after a long time less and more useful substances will start to enter the body, which will lead to a developmental lag, both physical and mental. Long-term research of specialists confirmed the positive effect of medical components on the baby's organism.

At the same time the mixture can be used as a substitute for basic food or used as a supplement to dinner. Standard per day you need to drink 2-3 bottles of "Pediashur" (the price will fluctuate around 240-360 rubles (per day)). The product is not cheap, as open packaging is stored in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours, and if the child has not touched the mixture, then next time you need to open a new bottle.

What do parents say about this magic mixture?

Now let's pay attention to the quality of the mixture "Pediashur". Reviews about this from moms and dads are ambiguous. Some do not understand how unique this mixture is, since there is nothing "magical" in it, but the children grow "as leaps and bounds". There are parents who believe that this is a placebo, and the product is no different from the usual dry mix.

But get a grasp of the composition of any similar product, and you will see that the therapeutic drink "Pediashur" is leading in terms of energy value. This is his secret! In 200 milliliters contains the maximum amount of proteins, vitamins and minerals necessary for the growth and development of children. Its effectiveness is noticeable with daily use for 2-4 months for one bottle (average weight gain - per kilogram per month). However, the final dosage is prescribed by the doctor, based on the specific case.

Some parents believe that it can be replaced by a double dose of an ordinary dry mixture. However, this position is unjustified, because "Pediashur" is a unique product with a specially saturated balanced composition.
