Children Vitamins

Mrs.Wtobe

Does anyone give their child a childrens multivitamin and if so when did you start giving it to them?

KathrynMD

I wouldn't do it unless the doctor recommended it.

We do, but like Kathryn said, our pedi recommended it. We give BJ's brand, which is like Flinstones. We started DS1 at age 2 with half (per instructions on the bottle), and at 4 he started having a whole one. DS2 get's half.

I'll have to ask our pedi when I take her in for her 2 year check-up.  Thanks guys.

We have been since day 1, since our dr recommends them and then Emily was anemic.  We give her the Target Up and Up brand with iron.  She gets half a tablet.

4. I had her iron tested at 9 months and 18 months and it was good. She was low on Vit D so I did give her that at 18 months or so. Actually need to start doing it for DD #2, but otherwise I don't give a multivitamin
