According to the manufacturers of this product, it is usually recommended for children starting at age 2. But it doesn't indicate, your 13 years niece can't drink this milk like supplemental beverage. Before start giving this beverage to the children, it is necessary to consult your baby's doctor first regarding its indication, frequency and duration of use. If your niece doesn't want to take natural milk or additional foods, malnourished or underweight, then this supplemental beverage may be used for your niece according to her doctor's advice or permission. It is necessary to visit her doctor for assessment and to know whether PediaSure is indicated or not for your niece.
