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”
Although i havent tried this product one of my friend used this product for his son and must say its really a good product that his son is soo addicted to it that he never go to play without having the drink.she is really happy for such an amazing product.

Kid Essentials drink is so great in our household for both my boys, I use it to top up their diets as they are oth picky eaters. I also find it works well when they are sick and dont have much of an appetite, they will still drink this and I can rest easy knowing they are still getting the vitamins and nutrients they need to help get them feeling well again
I tried Sustagen for my two children aged 5 and 3 and found it great. They both go through stages of being fussy eaters and it really puts my mind at ease to know they are still getting essential nutrients in their bodies. If they have been sick or off their food i will give them a cup of sustagen each day to make sure they have a full tummy for recovery.
My ds is not really a fussy eater. He loves everything. However, there was time that I did not have time to cook a well-balanced meal for him or all of a sudden he became a fussy eater. By adding Sustagen, I know that he will still get his daily nutrients. He also seems to love the flavour.
Have purchased a tub for my son to have during fussy eating periods he has when he is teething. He seems to like it occasionally but have thrown out more than he has drunk I think. Quite easy to mix, I use a shaker and then pour into his cup, vanilla flavour is nice, hopefully will be able to post a more detailed review when he starts drinking i more often
i cant say what i thought as my daughter was the one drinking it but she really really loved it when i had given it too her she drank iy all and will even drink it from a cup thank you for an amazing product that i would defs buy again
Purchased kids sustagen a few days ago for my eldest daughter. She eats like every normal toddler but is very fussy….she’s also very active so she has trouble putting on weight. We laugh and say she has two speeds… flat out and unconscious ahaha. I think this product is great! She easily drinks it and has put on a little more weight since having it regularly. Little expensive for my taste though but still a great product
Well, my children were a bit hesitant to try this out but they gave it a good go. Sometimes my kids will eat anything and everything so I know they get all their daily nutrients, but then there are days when they just don’t want to eat anything that I put in front of them. At least with this I know for sure that they are receiving all their daily nutrients. Helps single mums not to panic so much at times…
This product is ok . Easy to find in your local chemist.
Easy to make like any other formula.
But my kiddies didn’t like the taste.
So although it good and healthy for your kids. Theres not much you can do if neither of your kids will drink it.
Not sure about recommending this product
I found out about this product and bought it at the pregnancy baby and child expo. My daughter loves the taste of it and I simply give it to her as a drink however I did receive a cook book that was filled with recipes I could use it in as well which was great. It’s simple to make and I trust it gives her the goodness she’s missing from her fussy eating stage.
So my 6yo loves it, just tried to give my 2 yo some to try and he said “YUCK MUM” haha! I also have an 8 yo but he isn’t fussy and eats very well so i wont need to give him any. So it looks like a 50/50 success rate in my house anyway! Will still buy it for my 6yo.
My 6 yo is so fussy. I thought i would give this a go and he actually loved it! I will be including this in his daily meals/drinks just to give him a little extra boost of health 🙂
i was impressed that this didnt have such an awful after taste, my kids seem to actually enjoy drinking this when i make it up and give to them! I do not give them this daily only when ive noticed that my kids have not eatten as well as they should have for the week…my son being 10 would much prefer junk and does sneak in the junk once in a while i try not to have it around but when his grand parents live on the same property it makes it super hard…my daughter is 2 and she has days where she doesnt want to eat…so offering her a “drink” like this is easy to make sure she gets some good stuff into her!
I purchased sustagen kids for my vegetarian daughter because I was worried she would need extra vitamins, sadly the tin is still on my shelf almost one year later the children enjoyed the milk shaker thing that came with it. I think its time to recycle the tin and stick to milk as its much cheaper.
We bought this to try when the kids were sick. I think it definitely helped but not something I would be giving them all the time. My kids love fruit and veggie juices and smoothies so this seems a far better way to give them the extra nutrients.
Purchased this today after trying at Pregnancy and Baby Expo. My 14 month old will not drink any type of milk/formula etc except breastmilk. Have been trying all things so that I can start the process of weaning. He seems to like the taste of this and drank half a cup before bed, will report back in a week and see if he is still liking it.
I liked the idea of the sustagen drink to get the extra nutrients into my sons diet. He’s always been a very picky eater and it’s hard to get him to eat almost anything. But I gave him at least 2 drinks of this a day for a month (added into his milo or a milkshake) and he never noticed the difference in flavour. It gave me peace of mind to know he would drink this and feel that bit fuller at the end of the day – helped him to sleep better at night too.
I didnt get to review this product and have never tried iot before.Reading all the fantastic reviews this got I will definnately be adding this to my shopping list!!

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.
