PediaSure Abbott Introduces PediaSure® Plus #OhMyGrowth (OMG) Park to Provide Educational Experience on Children’s Growth and Development

The PediaSure Plus #OhMyGrowth Park roadshow launches, running from November to December, starting with Festival Mall, Alabang

As a parent, I always want to give the best for my children. Giving them the best love and proper guidance that will ensure their growth and development. As a mom I  always want to know if my  children are getting the right nutrients that their body needs to stay healthy and active.

My daughter Chelsea was a picky eater maybe that's the reason why is was underweight. For 6 years old kid like her the ideal weight should be 19.9kls but she only weighs 17kls 3 months ago. Her pediatrician recommend to give her PediaSure Plus. Though i'm not really good with some medical terms, I really want to know more about my child nutrition needs.

 It was nice that I was one of the mommies invited to attend that launch of Abbott PediaSure #OhMyGrowth ( OMG ) Park  last Nov 17, 2018 held at Festival Mall Alabang.

The #OhMyGrowth ( OMG) Park is a fun and interactive place for parents and  children over three years old. Featuring checkpoints for height, weight and immunity, the park is designed to educate parents on their children’s nutrition and growth development, while letting the kids enjoy fun-filled activities. Currently in Festival Mall, Alabang from Nov. 17-18, 2018, the park is also scheduled to be at: SM City Pampanga on Dec. 8-9 and SM Southmall, Las Piñas on Dec. 15-16.
Abbott wants to encourage parents to properly measures their children in order to recognize signs of nutritional inadequacy and keep their growth on track.


Complete and balanced nutrition is important for a child’s growth.
The first five years is a critical window in a child’s life for bone growth, with 60 percent of a child’s adult height attributed to growth at this stage. However, this period is also the time when a child is most likely to encounter barriers to growth such as poor nutrition, feeding difficulties or frequent illnesses. It is important to ensure that a child is getting a complete and balanced nutrition as they grow and that appropriate nutrition is introduced in time so that the child can stay on track in achieving his full growth potential.

An oral nutritional supplement like PediaSure Plus can help provide the proper nutrition a child needs by helping to fill nutritional gaps. PediaSure Plus is clinically proven, with 37 growth nutrients and triple protein complex, to support muscle and bone growth. A clinical study among Filipino children showed that drinking two servings of PediaSure Plus with three balanced meals everyday resulted in visible growth within eight weeks — and helped to improve appetite, weight and height, reduced sick days, and sustained proportional growth.1

Dr. Jose Rodolfo Dimaano Jr. – medical director at Abbott explains: “To support their overall growth and development, children require complete and balanced nutrition. PediaSure Plus provides essential macronutrients and micronutrients needed by a child to stay healthy and well-nourished. Its consistent use helps children to meet their dietary requirements of key nutrients for growth. This is especially important because many Filipinos are deficient in nutrients such as calcium, iron, vitamin A and C – all needed to support the optimal growth of children.”

At the launch event, celebrity mom Melissa Ricks - mother to three-year-old Keira, spoke about the importance of ensuring optimum nutrition with PediaSure Plus: “It was hard to make sure Keira was getting all the nutrition she needs when she was growing up because of her food preferences. But she loves the taste of PediaSure Plus - especially the chocolate one! With her having that twice a day, I can rest assured that she’s getting the proper nutrition she needs for her health and growth development - boosting her height, weight and immunity. It really helps me to make sure she is eating right, even on the busy days.”
