Do you give your LO a multi-vitamin?

virgomom · February 2010

DS's iron level was checked at his 18m appt and it was a little low. Pedi said it wouldn't hurt to give him a multi-vitamin. Do you give your LO one and what brand is it?

Poly Vi Sol with iron. I mix it in a cup of juice every morning.

We do the same. I add it to her sippy w/water and juice as well!

same as above, but ours is with flouride (not sure if all have this). he takes it straight up- he actually loves it. *shudder*

DS gets 1/2 a Flintstone crushed up in his milk every day. Pedi. said we can move to a whole vitamin once we're sure the iron isn't making his bad constipation issues even worse.

Hmmm...he was saying something about it being gummy. I guess yours is liquid? That seems much easier to take that a chewy thing since he doesn't have many teeth.

I don't know anything about a gummy vitamin. The liquid that we use tastes awful, but it's what our pedi told us to use back when Jack was like 2 months old. We started it then and just stuck with it. Maybe the gummies are for older tots?

I just started to give DD vitamins 2 weeks ago and i've seen an amazing increase in appetite. Makes me kick myself for not doing it sooner. lol

I'm giving her the pharmacy brand of Poly-Vi-Sol mixed with about 3oz of V8 Splash just to hide the taste.

Same here (minus the fluoride). I have no idea how he can swallow it without gagging. Just the smell nauseates me.

Natrol Liquid Kids Companion multivitamin.

I mix it with her kefir in the morning or with her yogurt. I'll be switching to the Lil Critters Gummy Bear Vitamins when she turns two.

Yep! Started it when DS stopped formula. His diet is no where near balanced.
