Do you give your kids vitamins? If so, what kind?

I give Addie Flintsones My First Vitamin. They are for 2-3 year olds so I bite it in half. :hehe:

Yep. Dylan takes Sugar Free One A Day Scooby Doo for Kids chewable vitamins...They have Iron in them also. This is our first vitamin we are trying for him. I had a very hard time finding ones for him with Iron and I saw these and got them. He has no energy and is tired alot so I figured he could use some iron.

I will probably start giving Kyleigh some infant drop vitamins. She's down to just her before bed bottle of formula and doesn't really have a good diet, neither does Dylan, so it will probably benefit her once we drop that last bottle in a couple weeks.

We buy some gummy vitamins from a health food store. The two older boys get 2 each and the youngest gets 1.

I give William the multivitamin drops for babies still...I'm going to look in to the other kinds once I talk with his Dr next week.

I don't give Nathaniel any extra vitamins, but it's because of his milk. We had to put him on pediasure due to constipation, and his doctor told us that 2 of those have plenty of the vitamins he needs.

The older kids take flinstones gummies but Averie doesn't get any additional vitamins. The pediatrician doesn't recommend them for babies under 2, especially those that are breastfed. Also, where Averie lacks in the sleep department she totally makes up for it in the eating department :hehe:

She's still on formula for night time and nap times so....that's good for now.

Isabella gets Vit D drops (http://www.vitasprings.com/baby-ddrops-400iu-11ml-carlson.html) because she does not drink Vit D milk (or any milk for that matter) and she isn't nursing enough to get it from me. Plus we live in the land of eternal darkness and rain so she doens't have much of a chance to get it naturally...
