Vitamins for kids and what age to start?

Em&B

Do your kids take vitamins? I remember always taking vitamins as a kid but so far my pediatrician hasn't mentioned it, but maybe that's because she's not old enough? What age did you start or why aren't your kids taking them? Any good websites with info on this? Thanks!!

I started to give an infant multi vit when she stopped BFing. No one directed me and I was very aware, did a lot of research and cautious of amounts, intended age ranges, etc.

I really don't care for our vitamins but whatever, they're not water soluable so you have to be careful what you mix it into. It works for now.

Argh. I meant to get more Vit C at the store today.

Our pedi recommended them when he was pretty young - 6 months maybe. I gave them to him here and there but 1) they tasted like @ss - drops and he cried when I gave them and 2) we just try to make sure he gets a balanced diet. If/when he starts refusing certain food groups I might take it more seriously.
