LO refuses to eat them. And I don't know about cavities because we haven't been to the dentist yet. I tried them because I was worried that she wasn't getting enough protein..... but then she started eating more protein on her own anyway.

We use the Lil' Critters brand (from Costco, I think). DD has never had a cavity.

Also lil critters from Costco... She refused them until she was 2... Now it's her daily treat everyday after breakfast. No cavities.,

My son eats two vitamin gummies and two DHA gummies every day. He loves them (they're like a treat for him!) and no cavities. Now he's 2.5. Man, do NOT try the DHA ones - they're like gummy bears that taste like fish oil. But he loves them!! We use the ones that look like Cars and Nemo (we get them at Costco).

@irene: Yes, that will teach me to steal my kid's gummies. BLECH.

My pediatrician recommended vitamins but I dont give them. LO is a good eater and eats a wide variety of fruits and veggies so I dont think she needs them

My pediatrician actually said not to give the vitamins because they're not as easily absorbed as fresh food (obviously). She said to give him a veggie/fruit smoothie every other day and that should suffice. She tends to go the more "natural" route so I'm not surprised by her recommendation.

@irene: I'm not sure why it's necessary but I know tons of moms who give their kids daily multivitamins so I asked my pediatrician about it and she said it wasn't necessary. I do give my son DHA supplements but I try to feed him his vitamins through smoothies and I hide it in his favorite foods. I do get tempted to give him a vitamin on those days when he doesn't get much nutrition though. I would email the nutritionist! It doesn't hurt. The worst that can happen is that she just ignores you.

I don't give them. My daughter is an awesome eater who eats a ton of fruits, veggies and fish, so I feel confidant that she's getting everything she needs.
