Gummy vitamins?

Did the pedi recommend them?

Just curious because ours hasn't.... What kind do you give them? And how do I know she needs them?

Sometimes she's picky and other times not. Like mentioned below sometimes I give her pouches to add veggies in her diet.

    Not yet. I would have assumed they were young for gummy vitamins. I would think that they were still a choking hazard. She did mention multivitamin drops, but I am a terrible mother who never started them. Mason is a good eater, but I suppose I should start something.

    Not yet. All of the vitamins I've seen at the store are for 2 and over.
    I give him toddler drink formula with meals to get in extra nutrients.

    Enfamil makes vitamins for babies under 2. Poly Vi Sol and Tri vi sol drops. They taste like a$$ so you can mix them in food or a drink some how. 

    I can pick them up at Walmart in the vitamin aisle, usually by all the other gummy vitamins.

    Yes, they were recommended at her 15 month appointment. Got them at Costco, and she has 2/day.

    My pedi recommended the polyvisol at LO's 15mo appt.  She specifically said to give it at bathtime in case LO spits it out b/c it's so sticky.  I thought that was good advice so I'm passing it along here.

    Our pedi did not mention vitamins at her last appointment.  I tried giving her Polyvisol and she hated it!

    We've been giving gummies for a couple of months now. A multi and a fish oil from Nature's Sunshine; they have a children's line of products. I eat them too, they're delicious! Smile

    ETA: Even though DS is a great eater, I still supervise him while eating the gummies in case he starts to choke. I'm paranoid, though. He has had zero problems with them.
