Toddlers - Vitamins?

Any toddler moms give gummy vitamins? If so, what brand?

E's picky eating stage is starting to worry me into thinking she may need a daily multi-vitamin.

    my dd's pedi said to start giving her vitamins when we were at her 2 year appointment because she had become and is still a picky eater.  he said any children's vitamin would be good.  i give her flintstone's because my sister gives her kids those.  dd really likes them and eats them each morning.

    good luck

    I use gummy vitamins from WF but T is too smart and knows that they look like candy but they're really not.

    Just as a side note, a friend of mine once suggested V8 Twist drinks for food strikes. THey have veggies but taste like fruit juice. I make popsicles out of them and let T sit on the front steps and eat 'em :)

    our pedi also suggested a multivitamin at our 2yo checkup.  maddy is a super picky eater and doesn't like them, go figure.

    her dr. said to get flintstones complete.  she advised against the gummies bc they were missing something, maybe iron?  i don't remember for sure...

    We do Little Critters Gummies.  STarted around 18 months when she was a picky eater, but stopped around 2yo.  We only give it to her from time to time when she doesn't feel like eating that day.

    we do those as well. dh and I can not believe addie eats them because they smell so freaking nasty.

    she also eats the lil critter multi vitamen. I started those when she started school for the extra zinc and vit c. she was taking the immunity ones but i read the label and the multi has almost the same amounts.
