Vitamins - do you give them to your toddler?

[LynnC]

DD seems to get one cold after another and wondering if some kind of vitamin might help. She is almost 2 - any recommendations?

Ds is just 3 and for the past 8mths have given him a chewy multi vitamin think its by bassetts. Never gets ill.
Keep meaning to start DD on those liquid vitamins you can get that are suitable from 6mths but havent got around to it but she is always ill..

give my dd liquid vits (will check name later, ds asleep on me know so can't move!) as she doesn't eat properly.

need doc to recommend something with iron in it though as she doen't eat much meat and no veg

we give dd's OJ for brekkie

I have just started giving Dd1 (25 months) Abidec which was recommended by the HV. DD1 has decided not to drink any milk since August and although generally a good eater - some days can be a bit tricky. So I am giving it her for my peace of mind really - dp thinks I'm being neurotic as dd1 is fine - but it's a mums job to be neurotic isn't it?

we give dd1 a multi-vit containing calcium, mainly because she's dairy-allergic and a specialist advised us to do so. I think it's a Boots one we use.

thanks will have a look for those ones and see if it helps any.
