dd2 is 3.5. Is a vitamin for 4 years and up really going to kill her?

[Cappuccino]

the kids are run down and they both eat nothing

they sit and look at a balanced diet and then eat about 2 spoons of it

they have fruit etc but I was thinking of getting them a multivitamin but the ones I find are all 4 years and up

dd1 is 7 so no probs there. But there is no way dd2 will not notice dd1 getting something. And she will WANT IT

if I cut one in half, what harm could it do?

oh I will await the answer

mine look at yummy plates of food too

There are vitamins for 3 years and up. Some of the chewy ones. Hold on, let me look at my packet... Yes, Haliborange A, C & D tablets.

I'm sure your DD2 won't die if you gave her one for 4 years, but why worry? Just give them both ones for 3+ for 6 months.

I think half a tablet won't do her any harm - often the reason they say "4 upwards" or whatever because of the body weight being smaller so they don't want you giving them the same amount, specially of the fat-soluble vitamins because you can overdose on them if you really overdo the dosage. (Water soluble ones like vitamin C just get wee'd out!)

But I think the Bassets ones start from 3, IIRC
