Toddler multivitamin

[jfh]

I have come to accept that Kai is going to subsist on processed white flour things for the foreseeable future. Anyone have a good multivitamin rec? I seem to remember fusion had one that ladybug also uses or something? TIA!

We have the Rainbow Light brand and DD seems to like them. They have iron in them so it comforts me when she's on a protein strike. The Vitamin D is a little lower than I'd like but it's ok for this good weather. We switched on the dentist's instruction - she used to take the Smarty Pants gummies (though no iron) and the dentist recommended gummy-free instead. We may go every-other-day between brands when DD is getting less sun and outdoor time.

I just use the target brand chewables. She thinks they're candy haha

We do Nature's Plus animal parade

A takes the Nature's Plus Kid Greenz. She also takes a Flinstone which her Ped said to take for the extra iron. I like the Kid Greenz because it's super condensed broccoli and other good stuff. When cold and flu season rolls around she'll take the Natures plus immunity and zinc too. She didn't really get sick last year and I'm giving these the credit.

I just buy the Flinstones ones from Costco.

We use Nordic naturals gummies. Grayson thinks they are candy lol.

[helicase]

We use the Lil Critters gummy vitamins. He gets one every night as a special treat if he drinks all his milk. He's always excited for his "gummy vita-min min mins!"

[fusion]

love the Nature's Plus brand! The kids take the Greenz, zinc, and tooth fairy for Jameson for the extra calcium. They have a whole slew of different ones though.

[fusion]

boosting their zinc levels is also supposed to help with pickiness

Well,another thing I never thought if getting for the kids

[artgal84]

We use the Nature's plus brand also and really like them. They have a vit D vitamin that we use too. I recently switched the calcium to a new liquid vitamin (that also has D, magnesium and zinc) and Lily loves it, the chewable was a little too chalky. She's mostly dairy free still that's why we need the calcium.

Same. Now I have to go find a kosher one. Sigh.

We also use the Nature's Plus Animal Parade and Kidz Greenz. But, she's kind of sick of them lately, so we're taking a break. V still gets ALL her veggies in pouch form. Hopefully the all things white phase will pass at some point for you guys!

C takes a Flintstones toddler multivitamin. She requests one every morning.

We use these two as well. Some days she gobbles them up like candy, and some days she refuses. It's hit or miss. She probably takes all 3 pills 3x/week and the other 4 days she will just have one.

Felinstones toddler. C loves them.

[charmediamsure]

Jack gets a Flintstones chewable one every night before we brush his teeth. We are almost out and I am thinking of getting him the Disney ones with the Cars characters because he doesn't know who the Flintstones are... lol

Why are you incognito?  

I intended to change my pictures and then got sidetracked. New pictures coming soon

Lincoln takes Alive kid's multi vitamins. It's a 26 fruit and veggie blend.

[kemangel124]

The princess gummies are all the rage at our house. Now she knows, "you just get one" after I hand her one. Then she stares at it and says what the character is, Ariel, Aurora or Snow White! She will not let me forget to give her one each day!

Just revisiting this thread - so I can give the Animal Parade and the Greenz ones together? They don't double up on vitamins? Or are they intended to be either/or? Sorry, I'm a little confused.

Also, is the Nature's Plus Immune & Zinc the one for adults? How much do you give?

Thanks!!

[vthokie]

I kid her 1 kid Greenz. She gets 1 of these immune ones www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B8Z8USU/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1409711827&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
And then I give her half a zinc www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000NI2ZDE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1409711928&sr=8-1.

I opted for half a zinc after reading vitamin amounts and max recommended zinc. I couldn't tell you any of this now though

This is so helpful, thank you. We've been sick a lot - I think more than is normal, even given that we have a toddler in daycare. I'm really going to try to hit immunity hard this winter.

I give both! And I know I copied someone else on here who said they did that soooo... I blame them lol. 

[kdrake8]

Are the zinc actual lozenges like it says on the box? Or are they chewable?

I do give Greenz and the Vitamins together because the greenz aren't a vitamin. They are literally just greens in a pill - like spiralina and such. Sometimes I give her 1 vitamin (the serving is 2) and 1 greenz. I like vthokie's plan with the immune and zinc. We need some serious protection after the cold and flu season from hell last year.

[formerlyllizzyb]

Pretty sure the only way I could get a vitamin in G is if it were colorless and flavorless and dissolved in liquid.
