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.
had to buy some more today. the kids love it. they only have one glass a day but they love that glass. and they never forget to have a glass. I am very happy with this product. it has cut flavoured milk out of the picture for good I think.
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.
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!

I had never seen this product before until i came across it on word of mums, i was amazed at what other mums where saying about the product on the reviews so again this is another product i decided to try My kids are so fussy so for me getting this would help them in alot of way, they loved the taste of it and they had fun mixing it together now they drink it daily so thank you to all the mums on here
after reading the reviews i got this for the kids, they loved it, and reading all the benefits like Sustagen Kid Essentials is a 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, gives kids the taste they love, the nutrition they need, why wouldn’t you try it?
I happily give my kids this healthy, nutritious, good tasting drink, they love it so much and it is very healthy for them, i love knowing my kids are getting the right nutrients and calcium intake while they are enjoying their drink, its so hard to find something that is all these things
We saw this in the supermarket and decided to try it with our 3yr old son and he loves it. We give him a glass of milk with this in it once a day to help with his vitamin and mineral intake. We will be buying this regularly.
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”
The vanilla flavour has gone down well in this family! Ive struggled in the past with getting them to try a healthier style of milk treat than nesquick. They have been enjoying this sustagen each morning with breakfast. Ive even tried a glass myself its really quite nice. A little bit of added vanilla essence just adds to the experience. This will be on my shopping list from now on
I bought this today after seeing it on your site and decided to give it a try. The kids loved having it in their morning milk and was a great little booster to start their day, especially a school day when they need it most. Probably a once a day thing, but a great way to spice up boring milk, plus giving them vitamins and minerals.
I actually tried this through asking for a free sample, it was that great that I have purchased it since. AN easy way to make sure “fussy eaters” get the vitamins and minerals they need. I have since recommended it to several friends who too have fussy little eaters.
very happy with this product, i received a sample sachet from the company as was worried my son wouldnt like it. well he loved it and would have drank the whole cup of it had he not accidentally spilt it. would recommend it for any mother who is worries their child isnt getting all they need in their diet
Great product nice taste and kids loved it so thats always a winner. I actually emailed the company and asked for a sample satchet of this to try it and then went out and purchased it as it was a winner in our house. i will continue to buy for the kids.
Great idea - if I could just get it past my daughter!
I bought this thinking that my daughter (who loves milk) would take to it easily and get a better start to her day. But she wasn’t fooled! She didn’t like the taste at all, and no matter what I did I couldn’t get rid of that grainy blend.
The amount needed to make one serving for kids is crazy! The adult hospital grade sustagen – which comes in other flavours including chocolate – takes less mix, is easier to get past my daughters lips and in the end it is in a similar price range too.

all i can say is wow my kids loved drinking this, i try to get the milk into there diet every day as it is important and i thought i would try this great product, now i dont have any worries about giving them milk as i know it has all the essentials in it as well
Our daughter is very fussy when it comes to food, doesn’t want what we are having for dinner, only wants to eat certain types of food. So Sustagen Kid Essentials helped us out heaps, it made her keep up her nutrition’s and she started to eat more than usual which was good.
I added it to my famous pancakes and she loves pancakes especially with strawberries and passionfruit juice and a hint of ice-cream. She thought it was the best thing… Thanks Sustagen Kid Essentials.
We tried it on our eldest daughter and it gave her a balanced out put of power without any crashes. I drink that is great tasting and nutritional and high in protein. I love the fact it has 27 vitamins and minerals to help support growth and recovery. Our daughter Liked it.
I love this product i buy it regularly, as well as the adult ones!! I can’t find my favourite flavor any more so now my favour is the dutch chocolate. Very nutritious heaps better than those artificial breakfast drinks that are full of sugar. I will always buy sustogen.
I could only use this on one of my
Kids but he was sick when I started so I
Was so greatful to know he was getting nutrients as he was refusing to eat at the time. He loved it and asked for it over and over. My other boy can’t drink stuff like this.
I haven’t tried the kids one yet but I do intent to .I am looking to increase the nutrients my three year old gets as she is not the easiest eater to please I have tried the adult version and some of my family drink it regularly and they like it.
Kids absolutely LOVED this, thought it tasted delicious and were asking for more everyday!
And for me? I love that it gives them alot more nutrition than a cup of say nesquik and that I can actually get my children to finish it, rather than pour it dfown the sink or into my dog’s bowl!
Sustagen is so great for kids! I love that it gives them the essential nutrients they need. My son is a fussy eater so having sustagen as well as his normal diet I can relax knowing that he is getting all the vitamins and minerals he needs to grow into a healthy little boy. On top of this he loves the taste and so does my 5 year old!
It was easy to prepare, just add a glass of cold water, stir or shake and serve. The kids loved it, they thought it was a nice drink to try and knowing that it is a nutitious milk supplement drink, i was more than happy to give it to them.
My son isn’t a big eater and I worry constantly if he is getting enough nutrients. I bought a tin of this and tried him on it and he loves it. He usually won’t try new things, but he took to this very easily and even asked for more. Will definitely be buying more 🙂
I haven’t tried the kids sustagen but I use the adult powder everyday and it’s fantastic, my friend got me some after I had my bub 5 months ago and I’m addicted (in a good way) It help me start my day (if I forget breakfast) or it just gives me that extra pick up during the day that I need. Would recommend
We tested this recently when Sustagen did a sample campaign and my four year old very much enjoyed the packaging but said “yuk!” When he tasted it. However my nine year old liked it and thought it tasted like a milkshake, so it is possible I will buy it for him. For my four year old I think I would need to smuggle it into a real milkshake, or perhaps add it to cereal or porridge…

Mums Reveal Their Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips
Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time mum, protecting your baby’s delicate skin is right up there on the priorities list. Because when their skin is irritation-free, it really does make for a happier bub! Anyone who’s had to deal with nappy rash (me included!) knows it’s an inescapable mum truth.
Having skin irritation as an adult is super distracting and annoying. So just imagine what that’s like for our teeny babies and toddlers, who need to focus on sleep, eat and play. No wonder they can be so upset when they have nappy rash.
One thing you do need to ditch when it comes to nappy rash is mum guilt. It happens despite our best efforts. But it is helpful if you can get ahead of the game by doing as much as you can to try and prevent nappy rash in the first place.
We asked our hundreds of thousands of Mouths of Mums members for their tried-and-true, trusted nappy rash tips, and their responses came down to four key tips. So if you’re about to have your first baby, or your fifth, it’s worth popping on the kettle and reading through what’s helped other mums.
Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips From Mums
What we love about these tips is they’re perfect for mums and expecting mums, and they’re really simple to do. Everything from what to use and what to steer clear of, to helpful hints on caring for delicate baby skin.
1. Nappy Free Time
“As much free nappy time as possible. Lay baby on a blanket covered with a towel on the floor, without a nappy on, if possible in front of a warm sunny window.” – Joanne W.
We love nappy free time for newborn and toddlers (although it’s a lot harder to get them to stay in one place!). And while nappy free time is one of the most popular nappy rash tips among our mums, using the right nappy also plays a huge part in protecting against irritation on your baby’s skin. For example, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants have clever Rapid-Dry™ Technology, which instantly absorbs for drier skin. And they’re perfect for day and night, with up to 12 hours of leakage protection.
2. Change Nappies Frequently
“For me, what worked on my two kids is not leaving them in soiled nappies too long. I definitely changed as soon as they were wet and let their skin air dry before placing a new nappy on. I would rather go through more nappies than have to deal with the uncomfortable rash they would feel.” – MoM Member
Frequent nappy changes are a fail-safe way to keep moisture, but it’s not always practical (babies just love to fill their nappies while you’re out and about!) Huggies Newborn Nappies are designed to help protect a baby’s delicate skin with a zinc-enriched layer*, clinically proven to help protect against skin irritation.
3. Use A Barrier Cream
“My mum put me onto Zinc and Caster Oil cream. It is FABULOUS stuff! It’s very thick and sticks like you know what to a blanket hehe I tried literally everything and this was the only stuff that helped.” – Trudes
Using a barrier cream was another really popular tip from our mums. But did you know that Huggies Newborn Nappies are the only nappy with a zinc enriched layer. The zinc oxide in Huggies Newborn Nappies is the same ingredient found in many nappy rash creams, which helps to protect against irritation with visibly less redness on skin. They’re also endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and the number one choice in Australian hospitals.
4. Choose Gentle
“Don’t use scented wipes. Flannel and warm water is the best.” – Justine F
Using the most natural product possible for wiping a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation is a tip that’s been passed down from generation to generation – and it’s still a great one. But something lots of mums don’t consider that a nappy itself can help protect against skin irritation. Huggies Newborn Nappies are clinically proven* to help protect against skin irritation while Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants keep up with wriggly little ones while providing superior dryness, making them perfect for active toddlers.
Nappy Rash Myths & Facts
🚫 Myth: Nappy rash is only caused by wet nappies. ✅ Fact: It’s true that moisture does play a role in nappy rash, it can also be caused by moisture friction, bacteria, and even what the nappy is made from.
It’s why choosing a nappy that’s specifically designed for skin protection is really important.
🚫 Myth: Cloth nappies are better at preventing nappy rash than disposable nappies. ✅ Fact: When it comes to nappy rash, there’s not really any need to compare cloth and disposable nappies, because it’s all about keeping baby dry. The longer baby can stay dry, the better.
🚫 Myth: Nappy rash creams are the only way to protect against irritation. ✅ Fact: A good nappy with a zinc enriched layer can also help to protect against irritation.
