True, but not nearly enough for what he needs...He loves broccoli, but it gives him gas, which makes his belly hurt, so we have to limit him (which sucks)...and he'd have to eat several pounds of spinach to get what he needs from it...He also doesn't care to eat meat much for some odd reason, he loves vegetables, pasta, cheese and bread...So, the Pediasure helps him with protein and iron that he might not get enough of, too...Doctor says that after the age of 5 or so, he shouldn't need the Pediasure anymore, but right now the calcium is critical...He had to have prescribed liquid calcium supplements from the time he was 6 days old, until he was about 6 months old, to keep him from having seizures (his little body doesn't absorb and utilize calcium efficiently, so he needs more than a person normally should)...That's how bad it was...He had a pretty rough start, but he's doing great now :)
