Review on BOOST Kid Essentials 1.5 Vanilla Vortex Nutritional Drink for Children, 8 fl oz (Pack of 27) by Marisol Rodriguez

Child Development Denial

Update: My children just got weighed at the doctor's. FINALLY they are 50% (twins). I think it was used about 3 months? So yes, it's worth it to me and I'm freaking grateful for this formula after struggling with weight gain for months. I wish and still hope that the company will swap out the Caetone for a bottle with a stopper for easier storage. Update: About a month of use and my little one is gaining weight! Everyone notices that their cheeks look fuller. My other twin hardly eats or drinks, but I feel like this milk is helping him lose weight. I buy 3 boxes of these from Save and Subscribe and it saves me a few bucks. Hope that helps. My twin boy recently had stomach flu, was hospitalized for dehydration and lost 4 pounds. Needless to say, it was back to the 2% level. We were originally on Pediasure and switched to it due to the higher calorie content according to the GI Doc. At first I slowly started with 30ml Essential and 5oz Pediasura but he absolutely hated it. Eventually I gave in and gave him everything and he ended up drinking it. I'm pretty sure he's gained weight. My problem now is that for some reason his food intake is decreasing. I'm not sure what happened there but I'm also trying to get my other boy to drink it which is no good lol. I like this thing for the calorie count, it's just not nice to spend that much for two guys. they're both autistic too, if that helps. What I don't like is the bottle. Be sure to shake vigorously as the formula will stick to the bottom box. Another thing is that there is no hat. My nearly two year old can't finish 8 oz. It hurts so much to shake it when the box is already open. I hope they fix this soon.

Pros
  • Health & Household
Cons
