You might try adding a couple of drops of mint extract (EXTRACT
from the grocery store, not essential oil) to hide the flavor and
smell.
Serving it well-chilled might help, or even freezing it and
making a "milkshake" out of it.
And ask the doc if it's just for the added calories, in which
case you can probably boost calories in regular foods. If it's
because he has a digestive disorder, he probably needs the
Pregestamil pre-digested proteins.
