I have never worried about her and eating gummies. We started when she turned 2 per the pedi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multivitamins-for-toddlers#post-2247705 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 08:35:11 +0000 Ra 2247705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son won't touch most fruits or vegetables so I give him a Flinstones chewable (not the gummy) each morning. He loves them and will ask for one if I forget. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multivitamins-for-toddlers#post-2247666 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 08:07:55 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2247666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been giving LO 1 Smarty Pants gummy vitamin daily since she was about 18 months per our ped's recommendation. I have very high iron levels and don't want to give LO a vitamin with iron until we figure out if she has the same, so gummies it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multivitamins-for-toddlers#post-2247652 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 07:53:00 +0000 Alivoo01 2247652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give DS the Flintstone gummy multivitamins. He's a pretty good eater, but there are days where he is picky. He doesn't have a problem with the gummies. He just turned 2. He's been eating "chewy/gummy" things since he was 18 months. I did watch him the first couple times he ate the gummy just to make sure all is well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multivitamins-for-toddlers#post-2247646 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 07:50:38 +0000 blackbird 2247646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E (28 months) gets a Flinstones gummy vitamins, which our ped recommended. I could NOT get her to take the liquid. Have you tried it? It tastes like ASS. Seriously grossed me out. She gets one a morning. She doesn't eat a variety all the time, so it can't hurt. And, honestly, they were on sale (buy 1 get 1) at Walgreens. I don't process folic acid and B vitamins properly, and if E can't, then the vitamin is good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multivitamins-for-toddlers#post-2247626 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 07:00:47 +0000 cat620 2247626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give a gummy that has calcium and vitamin D, since my son doesn't drink milk. I try to give him other dairy products, but I think most days he doesn't get enough, so the vitamin helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multivitamins-for-toddlers#post-2247588 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 02:25:00 +0000 Purpledaisy 2247588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do the trader joes chewable that come in the bear container and started at two. She also started getting a gummy calcium also from trader joes starting a little after two and has done fine with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multivitamins-for-toddlers#post-2247545 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 22:28:57 +0000 Bao 2247545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shortcake: I just ordered these same ones! </p> <p>I researched this for literally hours and the Alive ones are the ones I went with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multivitamins-for-toddlers#post-2247536 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 22:01:26 +0000 shortcake 2247536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love these Alive brand chewables. </p> <p><a href="http://www.naturesway.com/Alive-Children-s-Multi-Chewables-120-ct" rel="nofollow">http://www.naturesway.com/Alive-Children-s-Multi-Chewables-120-ct</a></p> <p>Also, trader joes makes a good kids chewable as well.<br /> I only give one at a time and don't give them every day.

I don't think there is any harm in giving them I just don't think they are necessary. Our ped agreed with this. And I'm super paranoid about choking so I don't feel comfortable giving her gummies. Here's an article from MayoClinic about it:<br /> <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/multivitamins/faq-20058310" rel="nofollow">http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/multivitamins/faq-20058310</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multivitamins-for-toddlers#post-2247524 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 21:50:18 +0000 Chuckles 2247524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you all do about vitamins for toddlers? My son just turned two so he seems a little young for a gummy. But the liquid is so disgusting. Does he even need one? He's not a great eater in terms of volume but likes fruits and veggies. </p>
