Can I make milk shakes out of baby's formula milk powder?

It is for a underweight children aged 1 to 3.Can I make milk shakes out of baby's formula milk powder?
Why don't you just use Pediasure? Why use baby formula if the child is 1? One year old babies, unless lactose intolerant, are able to handle full fat cow's milk. Just make a shake with that. Also, pudding is great for low weight children. Pediasure helped alot with my tiny boy. Milk, yogurt, meat, cheese, chocolate milk... all these are good for babies over 1 yr old. Just make sure the solid foods are cut down to an acceptable size and serving. Also, Nutripals is good also, and a bit cheaper than Pediasure. Hope I've helped. Best of luck!Can I make milk shakes out of baby's formula milk powder?
i would think so. just add the powder into a blender with ice and water.
I would not recommend it...but you can buy the pediasure chocolate or vanilla drinks and add ice in a blender. That will provide them with plenty of nutrients.
i wouldnt use formula, if they need to gain weight you can use carnation instant breakfast add one pack to 6 oz of milk mix and then add a 1/2 cup of ice cream and mix well. this will add calories and has alot of protein. it taste good and you should have no problems getting them to drink it.
No, they sell powder specifically for that purpose. Baby formula would make them really sick.
I have 3 kids ages from 4-1 and I have never heard of this. If you mix the formula with anything but water and put too little or too much formula it can cause health problems. A child over 1 can have regular vitamin d milk and after 2 yr old should be put on 2%.If the child is allergic to milk you can use soy or rice milk to supplement.


Hope this helps but for best advise ask the childs doctor.
There are better ways like feeding them homo/whole milk. I think pediasure has a special powder for that though.
At one point my Daughter was put on Pediasure, which has about 5 different flavors, for weight gain. She has some intestinal and esophagus issues and the Dr. actually gave us a Rx for the Pediasure. Ask your Dr. It is SOOOO much cheaper than buying it over the counter! Good Luck
Go to a pharmacy and ask for polycose. They will special order it for you and it is made for underweight children who do not meet their caloric requirements in a normal diet!
