Iron in it isn't very high - 5 mg per daily dose of two tablets. Flinstones with iron is 18 mg per one tablet (2-3 years old get half tablet and over 4 years is one tablet). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-take-a-multivitamin#post-2476950 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 11:42:02 +0000 Canoli 2476950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older son does because he is a terrible eater. We used to do a gummy but our doc suggested a chewable because they have iron in it. We do the target version of the flintsones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-take-a-multivitamin#post-2476945 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 11:31:26 +0000 regberadaisy 2476945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@danda: what brand and is it a gummy or tablet? Anemia runs in my family and both girls were anemic when they were younger. DD1 actually has thalassemia minor so our pediatrician keeps close tabs on their levels.<br /> We make a very conscious effort to include iron rich foods in our diet and so far have done a good job maintaining their levels since we stopped supplements! But definitely looking into adding a multi with iron for DD1 as she's starting to get picky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-take-a-multivitamin#post-2476875 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 09:16:23 +0000 danda 2476875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2.5 year old gets a chewable with iron - I'm paranoid about iron as we had to supplement iron when she was younger and we don't eat much meat. We used to use Flinstones vitamin but I saw it had an artificial sweetener so we switched to one they had at Whole Foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-take-a-multivitamin#post-2476866 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 09:00:41 +0000 MoonMoon 2476866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Orchid: we use this spray, I've heard sprays are better absorbed.

We give them Enfamil Poly-Vi-Sol with Iron every night in their bottle. </p>
