Yes, I believe it is 2 and up that you can start giving vitamins...look on the back of the container. I give my son the gummy vitamins, he is almost 3. He loves them.

i wouldnt suggest you give any child multivitamins, you see what it does is train the body to reject the nutrients in the food they eat since the body only needs x amount of calcium, x amount of vitamin c etc, but the only vitamin you should give your kid is vitamin C. the vitamins in oranges are i their skin, you want vitamin c from an orange, grow a ree and when you pick it cut it and eat in one time cause after an orange is picked the vitamin c goes to the skin

Yes! my son takes them every day .. I asked my son's doctor about it... no harm! Toddlers tend to be picky eaters so the extra vitamins ensure they are getting all they need!
The recomended dosage is 1/2 a tablet so make sure to break them in two... it is pretty easy to do with just your fingers.

yes, very safe, but make sure you keep them up because children think they are candy, it's great to give vitamins, if your child does not like them try gummy vitamins, you can get genetic ones for cheap Flintstones are expensive and are the same

my son is 21 months old and has been taking them for a few months now. At first I cut them in half to make sure he could chew it okay, he was fine so the next day I gave him a whole one. He loves the taste and asks for them if I forget to give them to him. Since they sit on the counter he points at them.

with a 2 yr old, weight is more important than age. i give my son one each day, but he is over 30 lbs. i would talk to your Dr or pharmacist before doing that if you cannot determine if it's safe. children can overdose on vitamins which could cause liver and/or kidney damage.

Maybe it is safer to ask your pediatrician, or even the pharmacist should know to assist you. I used to give my son (3years) flinstone vitamins, but he didn't like one bit, so I just changed to gummies multivitamin(NEMO), and he loooves them, he really thinks I give him candy's :)

Give her half of one, just like it says on the bottle. That's what my pediatrician recommended.

you shouldn't give a two year old anything without a doctors consent. why do you want to give your child a multi-vitamin at such a young age?
