After 9 months our LO (eta: she's 18 m) is finally off iron supplements!!! Woohoo!
Anyways, she's now on a liquid vitamin with iron. She did not like it at all today! Lol
Wondering for those that give a multivitamin which one do you give?
Looking for gummy/chewable with iron added?
Thanks!

Most vitamins that aren't liquid are made for kids over 2 - I guess its your call if you feel ok giving them to her.
With that said - you can get Flinstone gummies with Iron at Walmart and CVS.

@Mamaof2: Ohhhh I did not know that! Do you know why? Is it just a choking hazard?

@locavore_mama: No because even the chewable ones are like that. I am not sure really I guess it might be an overload of vitamins for a younger child??
You could always give her 1/2 dose?

I found the Flintstones gummies to be very difficult to chew, they're not "gummy" enough, they're very hard.
I perfer the Vital Gummies ones.

Even when my DD was on flintstones with iron at age 2, we were only supposed to give half of one... She liked those, though. Right now we are trying out honest company vitamins. It has iron and is food based. The kids like them. I'm avoiding gummies right now because they were sticking to teeth even though they were very popular with the kiddos (age 2 and up)

L'il Critters gummy multivitamin. When DS was younger I gave him half a dose (1 gummy).
