PediaSure has been a game-changer for my daughter's nutrition since she transitioned from formula. It's reassuring to know she's getting a complete and balanced nutritional supplement that supports her growth and immunity. The vanilla flavor is her absolute favorite, and she enjoys it as a tasty treat. I love that it's packed with essential vitamins and minerals, providing a nutritional boost that complements her diet. The convenient powder format makes it easy to prepare, whether at home or on the go. PediaSure has given me peace of mind knowing my daughter is getting the nutrients she needs to thrive.
I would recommend PediaSure® to other parents.

Flavoursome, nutritious and easy to prepare!!!!!!!!!
My son's favorite PediaSure flavors are Vanilla and Strawberry and even though it’s easy to prepare with cold or hot water, he enjoys it as a cold drink. It tastes just like flavored milk and not a supplement which makes it easy for him to drink. When he drinks PediaSure he isn’t as hungry as usual. Overall it’s an excellent supplement drink and I've already recommended it to my friends and family!!!!

PediaSure gives me peace of mind that my toddler is getting all the essential vitamins and minerals that she needs. She loves the vanilla flavour and still likes her milk before a nap, this is a great substitute with more to help her grow and keep her immune system thriving!

I loved this trial as it was something I've been wanting to try as my son is a picky eater but I didnt want to spend the $50+ to get it if he wasnt going to like it.
I was so excited to try this with my son and when I did he love it almost as much as I did! He drank the whole bottle. Now im excited to try the other flavours with him to mix it up as well but Vanilla was definitely a hit!
I love that PediaSure Powder has 28 vitamins and minerals, which is amazingly 12 more vitamins and minerals in this compared to regular toddler milk, thus helping my son thrive and get nutrients his growing body needs. And it will continue right up until his 10 or until he grows out of his picky eating habits or lets be honest I'll probably still give it to him as it won't hurt having extra boosts here and there.
It is readily available at chemists near me being Chemist Warehouse, Cincotta Chemist and Blooms the Chemist which is fabulous!
Lastly, I love that it comes in powder form, but I do also love that it comes in readily made 200ml bottles with all three flavours for on the go.

This is definitely the one we need in our lives. After having tried it, Mr 5 will not go back to the other one. This definitely ticks the boxes for his needs too. Loved how it did actually increase his appetite too, as he is the world’s fussiest eater! Currently scouring the shelves looking for this Pediasure formula it’s the one!

Some people may not believe it but my little girl used to be such a picky and small eater until I started her off on this milk. It must have a wonder ingredient in it because ever since then her appetite has increased so much - she definitely had a major growth spurt as she was one of the smallest when she started kindy and now she has caught up to everyone else in the class!
This milk was a game changer for us and I have since continued to purchase the product because of the results we received from it.

My toddler is so picky and some evenings just refuses to eat her dinner. Having PediaSure on hand to give her before bed gave me the assurance that she was getting all the nutrition she needs to finish the day and get her through the night with a full stomach. She didn't wake at all and didn't notice any taste difference to her normal milk so it's a big winner!

Wow, this is not what I expected. Freya is very fussy with anything she puts in her mouth at the moment, food or drink, so I thought I'd have a struggle on my hands. But nope, she drank and drank then drank some more. It's a hit with her and lifesaver for me. Trying to ensure a fussy eater is getting enough nutrients is a nightmare. Not anymore thanks to PediaSure

This is really an amazing product. It has all the things my kids to help their growth and development. My kids love the flavour and don’t fight me to take it they actually ask for it which is great. For me personally, I’m a mum of 4 and financially am unable to purchase PediaSure regularly to give my kids twice a day. I wish I could as it’s so good for them and their growing bodies really benefit from

We have loved trialling pediasure vanilla. My 2 toddlers enjoy drinking their "vanilla milkshake shake" as we call it.

My 28 month old little one just didn’t like it! She’s a big milk/bottle gal and when I mixed this up she would spit out and sat “yuck”. I tried a couple times and even diluted it! It’s a real shame because she’s not a big eater as well so having something like this would’ve really helped!

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

If your little (or not-so-little) one wants a lunch bag everyone will comment on, this is it. Available in a range of stunning designs, they come with a long and strong handle and easy-use zippers.

After something a bit more mature? Bentgo’s Modern lunch boxes are a great option. They have a sleek matte finish in a choice of four stylish shades, including Mint Green, Orchid, Dark Grey and Navy. Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

Wow wow wow! My son loves PediaSure!
I was so excited to try this with my son and when I did he love it almost as much as I did! He drank the whole bottle. Now im excited to try the other flavours with him to mix it up as well but Vanilla was definitely a hit!
I love that PediaSure Powder has 28 vitamins and minerals, which is amazingly 12 more vitamins and minerals in this compared to regular toddler milk, thus helping my son thrive and get nutrients his growing body needs. And it will continue right up until his 10 or until he grows out of his picky eating habits or lets be honest I'll probably still give it to him as it won't hurt having extra boosts here and there.
It is readily available at chemists near me being Chemist Warehouse, Cincotta Chemist and Blooms the Chemist which is fabulous!
Lastly, I love that it comes in powder form, but I do also love that it comes in readily made 200ml bottles with all three flavours for on the go.
