If your child drinks PediaSure 1.5 Cal or PediaSure 1.0 Cal, you may have noticed that the cans you usually order are no longer available. Abbott, the maker of PediaSure, has moved both products from cans to bottles. We know any change to your child's nutrition routine can raise questions, so here's a simple look at what's new and how to keep your next order on track.
What's changing with PediaSure 1.0 Cal and 1.5 Cal
- Bottles instead of cans. Both products now come in 8 oz bottles. The cans have been discontinued.
- Slightly different names. PediaSure 1.0 Cal used to be called PediaSure Enteral Formula 1.0 Cal. You may also see either product called "Standard Formula" on some labels or websites.
What to expect from the new bottles
Many of the basics will look familiar. Both products are still made for children ages 1 to 13, still come in vanilla, and can still be taken by mouth or through a feeding tube with guidance from your child's care team. PediaSure 1.5 Cal is listed at 350 calories per bottle, and PediaSure 1.0 Cal is listed at 240 calories per bottle.
However, it's always a good idea to read the label when a product's packaging changes. If you have any questions about switching, your child's healthcare provider is the best person to ask.
