Carnation Breakfast

Yes with it being thicker I would maybe get some and see how it is tolerated. Our oldest is 9 and has a g button. He gets 3 of the VHC CIB (560 calories) and 2 Plus CIB (375) in his g button. If we switch and do all VHC then sometimes he can't tolerate it and ends up throwing up so in the end it isn't any better or anymore calories. It is worth a shot.

We give 2 cans of Pediasure with chocolate syrup to M every morning. Today, I went on a hunch that he really, really likes his chocolate milk every morning and I tried 3 cans. Sucked it right down. So, I'll probably stick with that.

We've got his supplements set up on a script for his g-tube that he doesn't need to use, so long as he gets those supplements by mouth. I'd love to switch him to a VHC option but I don't think I can get those on a script for the g-tube and I have to go with what I can et insurance to pay for at this point.

I do not see any harm in trying. I used to give my son the Carnation as well. He will not drink other suplements and he thought it was a treat!!!
