Adequate nutrition is important for optimal growth. Poor nutrition can be a result of inadequate intake, absorption, and/or utilization of nutrients.

Improving nutritional intake is key for optimal growth. If you have concerns regarding your child's growth.[4] Seek guidance from a doctor or dietitian on ways to enhance your child’s diet to improve his or her nutrition.
Many people believe that if the parents are short, then their kids will surely be short as well. But that’s not true!
Research has shown that environmental factors, including nutrition, has a greater influence – up to 80% – on height during early childhood, compared to genetics. [6]
PediaSure is a complete, balanced child nutritional supplement that is specially formulated for children at nutritional risk. This may include children whose:

With more than 30 years of research and over 20 clinical studies, PediaSure is backed by science to help children grow!
*According to World Health Organisation (WHO) Growth Charts (Boys/Girls 0-2 year olds length-for-age) or Centres for Disease Control (CDC) Growth Charts (Boys/Girls 2-18 year olds height-for-age).
#The age of a child whose average height (50th percentile) is at the current of height of the child.
^Average Height is height at the 50th percentile for the child's age.
The percentile number means that your child exceeds the percentage of children their age for that measurement.
Note that according to the Centres for Disease Control (CDC) percentiles between the 5th percentile and 95th percentile is considered normal.
Always consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about your child's growth pattern as interpretation of growth must be made in the overall clinical context of the individual child.
