Picky eater: I would you suggest you discuss with his doctor if he is due for a well child check to check his growth and be sure there is not another reason if he is underweight

Safe yes,reasonable?: You can get a less costly and similar nutritional value by using Carnation breakfast essentials (several flavors). However, I would only do so if he has had a recent checkup/evaluation. What you view as underweight may or may not be valid for his stage of growth, and a treatable medical condition may be overlooked.
