My son is 14 months old. I have been giving him liquid vitamins, but am looking for an easier alternative. (He has learned to spit them across the room, and refuses any food items they are mixed in to) Any ideas? I have looked into the gummie vitamins but I think that he might choke on them. What Vitamins do you give your toddler?

My doctor has recommended that my son be given vitamins, ever since the day he came home.

He was 2 months premature, but completely healthy. Never has had any health issues. Perhaps my doctor is doing it as a precautionary measure?

I would stick with liquid. Just make sure that you squirt it in the cheek area, then it will be harder for him to spit it out. Also I find doing it really fast helps a lot.

I give my daughter the gummy vitamins. At first she thought they were fruit snacks. I bought the Pooh gummies cuz she loves Pooh, and now she tells me she wants her Pooh vitamins. I'm also a little sneaky, cuz I bought the generic brand that had 3 times the amount of the Disney brand and I just keep refilling the bottle. She can't tell the difference. PS-these are only good for 2 yrs plus. For now, you should add the liquid vitamins to his juice.

Drugstores did no longer have what i mandatory. the place I stay there's a save referred to as The nutrition Shoppe. i mandatory liquid supplementations acceptable for a 4yr previous and 8yr previous, the two one in each of them diabetic and their dr. needed them on supplementations and neither will take chewables or the gummies. while the female there became assisting me, she confirmed me each and each of the selection of baby's supplementations that they had and there became some for infants. the single I chosen is referred to as source of existence Animal Parade Liquid baby's Multi-nutrition. Vetegetarian and Hypo-allergenic. this is berry flavored. They nevertheless won't take this, besides the indisputable fact that, I combination it of their apple juice and that they do no longer understand the version and that i do no longer would desire to conflict! i does no longer supply a baby gummy form. Choking risk. i'm a mom of five a protracted time 4 to 19.

From my experience your son is still too young to take regular childrens vitamins- the only kind that I know of is the liquid kind. Does he have to have them? Did his pediatrician prescribe them?

For such a young age, I have heard that you can get soluable tablets that dissolve in water & are pleasant tasting for them. Try asking for them at your local health food store or pharmacy.

Try the vitaball or vita-ball. It's chewing gum with all the vitamins. What kid doesn't like gum?
