They are FOUL - he spits them out. Repeatedly.
But is managing them in juice (with extra sugar & a Malteser chaser )
Can't see any reaons this should 'invalidate the warrenty' ... can you?

No reason unless they are the ones that release slowly over time, in which case dissolving them would negate that benefit iirc.

How would I know, ib?

if they're slow release it should say so on the bottle.

My GP told me to do this with DS with his AB when he went through a phase of not taking ANYTHING of a spoon.
