At 14 months, a child should get most of their nutrition from breast milk, formula, and age-appropriate solid foods. Nutrition powders like Pediasure Vanilla Flavour Nutrition Powder for Kids Growth (400 g) are formulated to supplement dietary intake in children with poor growth, poor appetite, or specific nutritional needs, but they are not automatically required for every toddler. This product is intended for children aged 2–6 years and is not recommended for a 14‑month-old. If you are concerned about your child's growth or nutrition, consult a paediatrician for safe alternatives.
