As mums, it’s important to us to know that our children are receiving the right nutrition to grow and develop normally.

During this time of critical growth, it is essential that children receive not only an adequate supply of all of the micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) but also macronutrients (energy in the form of calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat).

Introducing Sustagen Kid Essentials …a great tasting, nutritionally complete drink for children aged 1-10.

Sustagen Kid Essentials is a great tasting, nutritionally complete drink for children aged 1 – 10.  It is high in protein and contains 27 vitamins and minerals to help support growth and recovery. Sustagen Kid Essentials gives kids the taste they love, the nutrition they need.

How do I know if my child needs a nutritional supplement?

Nutritional supplements may be recommended by your healthcare professional when:

  • children aren’t eating and drinking as much as they would normally
  • help is needed with weight gain or to slow down weight loss
  • growth is suboptimal
  • nutritional intake is reduced due to illness

How do I use Sustagen Kid Essentials?

Add Sustagen Kid Essentials to smoothies & milkshakes, add to pancakes, cupcakes and muffins, sprinkle over cereal or fruit and yoghurt or simply make up a wholesome glass of Sustagen Kid Essentials. To prepare, mix 7 scoops or 55g of powder into 210mL of water or milk.

Where can I purchase Sustagen Kid Essentials?

Sustagen Kid Essentials is only available at pharmacies. The recommended retail price is $28.95 for a 900g tin.

In the Sustagen Kid Essentials Product Review, mums will receive a 900g tin of Sustagen Kid Essentials to use with their children. We asked them to put Sustagen Kid Essentials to the ‘Real Mum, Real Life’ test and post their review and ratings.

  • Good for the kids and they like it.

    My kids have a real love of flavoured milk. and due to the amount of sugar and lack of goodness (apart from the milk itself) they are not allowed to drink it unless its a special occasion or a treat. this product as made my kids very happy. they are now allowed one glass of “flavoured milk” per day. they think all their Christmases have come at once. It good for them and they love it.

  • So Good We Buy It By The Box

    Sustagen Kid Essentials gives me complete peace of mind!

    I have been using Sustagen Kid Essentials for the last two years. I now have three children that have it on a daily basis. I go through roughly eight tins a month. My five year old is an extremely fussy eater, and I was often concerned about whether or not he was getting enough nutrients to meet the requirements for his age.

    Kid Essentials gives me peace of mind as it is extremely nourishing and my fussy eater enjoys the taste of it without a problem. I will definitely be starting my fourth little one on it as soon as he reaches twelve months as it is an excellent product and I highly recommend it!

  • What a great way to ensure my kids are healthy!

    Sustagen Kid Essential is an easy way for me to make sure that my kids are getting the the nutrients they need in their diet. I would highly recommend to any parent wanting to make sure their children also are reaching their daily intake of all the minerals and vitamins needed for great health. Its so very easy to prepare and my kids love it,especially cold just out of the fridge as an after school “snack”

  • Great booster after kids were sick

    we have a run of illnesses in the household so with two children being run down i saw this product I thought it would be good to try. The kids thought it was a novelty so it was easy to get them to try it. When they tried it they still thought it was a treat so they were happy to have it any time i offered it.

    My son tried this for the first time whilst on holidays at his cousins house. It was a hit for all the kids and looked easy enough to prepare. After reading the packaging, it does put your mind at ease to know the kids get extra vitamins etc if they decide not to eat (as kids do).

  • I remember Sustagen from my own childhood

    Ensuring our kids get enough essential nutrients is always on any mothers mind. I keep a tin of Sustagen Kid essentials in the pantry to be able to provide a nutritious flavorsome snack without all the excess sugar or empty calories of standard flavoured milk drinks. My little ones love the flavour and I almost feel sneaky because they think its a sweet treat, which it is but a healthy one! Especially good if someone is feeling unwell and may not feel like eating. I trust the Sustagen brand as I grew up with it and believe it has a role in a healthy balanced diet, its also easy to prepare and I feel good value for money.

  • Kids like this

    Kiera has been sick but I,m not sure if I want to give her this .. I,m a bit concerned about some of the ingredients not something I would normally feed my sick children .. A egg flip would be better for them.. The concept is good. But the ingredients are something parents should read before feeding to children,.. Kiera so e time will not eat for days and I was looking for something I could give her .. At this stage I think I will stick to egg flips and milk shakes. Because then I,m certain they are good for her.. Easy is not always the best idea ..

  • Yes this helped miss eight

    Our eight year old just had her tonsils out and was not feeling the best we brought her this as her very own milkshakes. She was looking a lot better I was a bit concerned about some of the ingredients and he amount of sugar. But Nestlé is a Australian brand. We have learnt to trust .. So miss eight is doing really well and mnow miss fussy two who never drank milk is drinking it also… Well done.

  • Great taste kids love

    My boys are quite fussy and not a fan of anything that looks or tastes milky but when given this they actually asked for more so it is now a daily thing for them both.At least i know they are getting some extra vitamins and minerals as well as calcium.

Article Clever Time-Saving Appliances For Busy Families

Clever Time-Saving Appliances For Busy Families

In my 16 years as a mum, I’ve learnt a thing or two about time savers and time suckers. For instance, looking for misplaced footy boots, school books or chargers is a complete time sucker. On the flip side, the ultimate time savers are the unsung heroes of the home – the clever appliances that make everyday tasks simple.

Westinghouse appliances are the masters at freeing up busy families to have more time to do what they love (or look for those missing footy boots – FYI they’re usually in the car!).

Keep It Cool, With A Friendly Fridge

Westinghouse 609L French door fridge (WHE6170BB)

Just like mums and dads, fridges are absolute workhorses of the family, but do you just ever wish your fridge could just get what it’s like to be busy? The game-changing Westinghouse 609L French door fridge (WHE6170BB) is a bit of a mind-reader. It just knows what a family needs! The FlexSpace Fully Convertible Drawer does whatever you need it to.

With the touch of a button you can chill drinks, freeze meat or store deli meats for school lunches, with five different settings. No need to shuffle things from the fridge to the freezer and back. We also love, love, love the Dual Freezer Storage which gives that much-needed extra space.

Whether it’s storing leftovers, freezing, or controlling humidity, this fridge is happy to help the family keep its cool. Literally.

Make Dinner A Sprint, Not A Marathon

One of the most hectic times of the day revolves around getting dinner on the table for the hungry hoards. It’s usually a race against the clock in between sport, dance and music but with the Westinghouse 60cm multi-function pyrolytic oven (WVEP6918DD) fast heat up time it means dinner is cooking in record time. And with the ability to air fry frozen food without defrosting and clean itself using PyroClean it means there’s more time for catching up with the kids in between school and activities. It almost like having your own sous chef. Another Westinghouse appliance that’s happy to help!

Less Dish Stress

Westinghouse 60cm freestanding dishwasher (WSF6608KXB)

My family know I absolutely hate a sink that’s overflowing with dirty dishes. The easier it is for everyone to help, the more likely they’ll do it! Westinghouse 60cm freestanding dishwasher (WSF6608KXB) are bursting with features that are all aimed at calming the chaos – with room for up to 15 place settings, fast wash cycles and fast drying – and they’re quiet. Wash overnight, and everyone can pitch in during the morning rush!

More Laundry, Less Time

The never-ending story of my house is The Laundry. I’m sure the laundry hampers are bottomless pits which are never truly empty. At least with the Westinghouse 10kg EasyCare 700 Front load washing machine – WWF1044M7SA everything is geared to getting the washing done quicker. Which means you can do more in less time – so good.

The Full Load 60 gets an entire load done in 60 minutes or less. The higher spin speed gets more moisture out of your clothes, which means less drying time, and you can set the timer so the washing is done when you’re ready for it. Everything points to spending a whole lot less time in the laundry!

Dry In No Time

Westinghouse 10kg front load washing machine (WWF1044M7WA)

Finally, to the true unsung hero of the house – the dryer. Westinghouse 9kg heat pump dryer (WDH904N7SA) is created to take care of your clothes, while making sure they dry in the quickest time. I love being able to throw a load in the dryer and by the time I’m back from school drop off and ready to start work from home, the clothes and dry!

Whatever you’re doing around the home, Westinghouse is happy to help, by making your life easier so you can spend more time doing the things that matter. Time with our family really is precious and goes by in the blink of an eye. So things like a fast wash, quick freeze and an oven that’s at temperature quickly add up to less stress and more time.

Ready to simplify the every day? Explore the Westinghouse range today.

  • I have the Westinghouse dishwasher mentioned in this article and I think it is brilliant. I absolutely love the draw at the top for your knives forks etc. it is so much better than them picking out at the bottom with the plates. I also love the look of the fridge, it looks like it would look perfect in my house 😜
