Also ordered some of the lil critters gummies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multi-vitamins-for-kids#post-49703 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 04:10:49 +0000 mrsnarbonne 49703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until my son started daycare, since I was breastfeeding him I figured the bm would make up for any deficiencies in his solids intake. Once he started daycare (at roughly 20 months), I would mix Rainbow Light NutriStart Multivitamin powder into his soymilk that he'd take to school. They come in pre-measured packets and are supposedly made from whole food sources. As a kid's multivitamin, it is pretty comprehensive compared to many of the generic brands. Rainbow Light seems to be a pretty popular and well-respected brand; I have no complaints. I get it from Amazon.com or iHerb.com (check prices - some places are double the price there!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multi-vitamins-for-kids#post-49642 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:56:48 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 49642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took Flinstones vitamins as a kid and I loved them. I'm not sure if I really needed them or not though because I wasn't a picky eater. I loved the vitamins because they reminded me of candy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multi-vitamins-for-kids#post-49637 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:37:15 +0000 SAHM0811 49637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At DD #1's 2-year-old visit, her ped said a multivitamin was a good idea since she was a picky eater. We use Nature Plus Animal Parade. I get it at Fairway. DD loooves them. They're a treat to her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multi-vitamins-for-kids#post-49630 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:29:20 +0000 SugarplumsMom 49630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Those are great! They sell them at Costco =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multi-vitamins-for-kids#post-49629 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:26:42 +0000 Andrea 49629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: ok, I have decided to try those out. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multi-vitamins-for-kids#post-49621 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:12:42 +0000 Mrs. Bee 49621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rob: i don't think charlie eats enough or enough of a balanced diet. i haven't talked to his pediatrician about it yet. maybe i'll take the children's vitamins too since they're just gummis! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multi-vitamins-for-kids#post-48579 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 01:32:26 +0000 cyndistar3 48579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Yea those are the ones! They are awesome and my daughter loves them so much that even if I forget she will remind me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multi-vitamins-for-kids#post-48578 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 01:27:18 +0000 Wagon Sr. 48578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those that do give the vitamins, was the decision based on anything (pediatrician rec, LO's comparative weight/height averages, personal conviction etc.)? I'm in the same boat as @Mrs. Bee... considering it for Rob Jr., but want to know how other parents decided... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multi-vitamins-for-kids#post-47980 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 11:18:34 +0000 chopsuey 47980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO's too young for vitamins, but will probably give her these when she gets older. </p> <p><a href="http://www.nnpvitamins.com/lilcritters/gummy-bear-vitamins.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.nnpvitamins.com/lilcritters/gummy-bear-vitamins.php</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multi-vitamins-for-kids#post-47976 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 11:10:40 +0000 cyndistar3 47976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get our daughter these lil critters gummy vitamins and she loves them, theyre just like gummy bears! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multi-vitamins-for-kids#post-47969 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 11:04:06 +0000 Mrs. Bee 47969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we don't give one to charlie, but i think we should so i'll be following this thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multi-vitamins-for-kids#post-47947 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:46:14 +0000 hideandseek 47947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter eats a nice variety of foods; but I still like to ensure that she's getting all the vitamins she needs so we give her a Disney Princess Gummy after her dinner time. (We keep them up high in a cabinet away from her and she sees it as a special after-dinner treat, lol). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multi-vitamins-for-kids#post-47946 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:44:36 +0000 Mrsbells 47946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on their diet. If I am able to get my kids to eat a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruit and veg I wont give them vitamins because natural vitamins are always better than sythetic pills or gummies.<br /> When I was a kid I somtimes had to take fish oil supplements or vitamin C supplements but it was always for a short period because my parents preferred for me to get vitamins right from the source </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multi-vitamins-for-kids#post-47933 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:35:06 +0000 Andrea 47933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you give your LOs a daily vitamin? Is it necessary? Which one do you give? </p>
