Can anyone recommend a decent multivitamin and / or iron supplement for a 4 year old?

I think spatone is suitable from age 2.

If you think he needs strong supplements he should be being seen by a paediatrician, surely?

@BertrandRussell he is seen my a paediatrician thank you. He won't take the vitamin prescribed so I want a good substitute in the interim before being able to discuss at next appointment which is a way off. Strange response to an innocuous question.

We use wellkid which was recommended by the dietician at the hospital for having a good range. With equazen for omegas.

You might not have this brand there (maybe look for something similar) but these vitamins come in lolly form so kids will be happy to have them (obviously lock them up when not in use) www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/67844/cenovis-kids-vita-tingles-multivitamin-60-tablets
