    Pediasure has a lot of vitamins and minerals (including omega 3, fiber and antioxidants). It's meant for children up to age 13, but I don't see what it could possibly hurt. The only thing I would thing is that you get too much vitamins and such which is bad over super long periods and if you go way overboard. I really don't see what it would hurt, it may even be a good idea if you're not able to keep your prenatals down, you're having food aversions or you're not eating healthy foods. Of course, you should ask your doctor about it to be sure. I personally wouldn't spend the money on it, but I really try to watch what I eat and try to keep it balanced.

    i dont see why it would be harmful. it's got a lot of vitamins and minerals in it so if anything its a great thing to be drinking. especially in place of regular milk which is too fatty.

    oh wait, im thinking of Ensure. drink that. i don't know what pediasure has in it.

    Benefit- can't think of any. Harmful effects, well, not dangerous, but it IS just a bunch of processed junk.
