My 16mth old ds has been prescribed calcium supplements (has multiple allergies). The sachets we were prescribed are currently not being manufactured, so being prescribed Cacit - not the D3 one, (don't know what that is), which is a tablet to cut in half and dissolve in water. My ds is great at taking medicine - took ranitidine, gaviscon, antibiotics etc no problem. However, he will not take the Cacit - which smells like cheap orange squash, and is a bright orange squash.
Wondering what other prescribed calcium prescriptions people have, or how they manage to succeed in getting their little ones to take it. Have tried in porridge (with nutramigem aa formula) - it dyed it pale orange and he refused the porridge. In water in his tommee tippee, he refused ... bit stuck. Want to avoid syringing it into him if possible.
