I just picked up, for the first time, some toddler gummy multivitamins for DD, who is 2 years old.
I haven't tasted the gummy yet but was wondering if you ran into issues with your kids thinking it was candy and wanting more. What do you say to them? When do you give it to them?

No, her pediatrian recommended these drops with flouride but they stink and LO hates it and she eats a very balanced diet so I think she is okay

I bought the Flintstones gummies and I didn't end up giving them to my son because I felt they were too sticky, and that he wouldn't be able to chew them properly.
My son is extremely picky, so he really needs a multivitamin, so we'll get a rec from the nutritionist.
eta: he doesn't know that other gummies are candy, so I don't think it would be an issue.

Hmmm...I never thought to ask DD's ped about it. I'll give it a taste and see.

LO eats the L'il Critters Gummy Vitamins. I can tell he treats it like candy, but he knows that he is only allowed two at lunch time. He never asks for more.

My son eats lil critteres gummies too. He knows that he's allowed only TWO and only after he finishes his dinner. He sees it as dessert. He asks for more but doesn't beg for it. I usually will offer him 2 gummies in addition to something else for dessert, usually fruit or a veggie smoothie. It kind of distracts him away from the gummies.

Lil Critters as well at 2. I made sure to tell her the 2 gummy rule from the first time so she's never asked for more.

@Andrea: LOL! Same! I was really insistent on the 2 gummy rule. He's tried to get more out of me but I hold my ground! And he's pretty clever with his excuses ("I only had the red and yellow one. The orange one is sad!"). Uhh yeah... Good try, buddy.

@banana: ah yes, I told her no choosing colors either! Your son is funny - orange is sad. Haha!!
