[hannah40]

do any of you know of any vitamins that i could give a 5yrold i have tried loads of different knid and she says she doesnt like them .anyone have a child that actually like a certain kind.thanks

[S_C]

maybe im missing the point here . but why would you want to be giving vitamin tablets to a 5 year old anyway.

Vitamin tablets have hardly any vitamins in them , a good balanced diet of fruit and veg would provide so much more vitamins and minerals.

but as for the question sorry no i dont know any vitamin tablets for children

[hannah40]

S_C either you dont have children or you are lucky that yours will eat a healthy balanced diet. I put veg on my sons plate every day but he just won't eat them. I keep trying in the hope that one day he will, its a right waste of food.

hannah, Asda and Morrisons do their own brand of childrens vitamins that are like sweets, my little one is nearly 3 and he will take the Asda one as it is chewy, it could be worth trying them. Any chemist do them.

Thanks i will try them.

My daughter eats her fruit and veg but i still give her vitamins. My daughter likes "Bassetts soft & chewy vitamins A,C,D & E. a good all rounder i think. You can get orange or strawberry flavour.Not too expensive either. I get mine from Bodycare.

my next door neighbour, who i go round to for tea every couple of weeks or so, gives her 6 year old these chewy vitamin tablets that come in orange or strawberry.

if you do buy the haribo ones please please please ensure they are completely out of reach of your child.

They do not have childproof lids and, tasting like sweets, an adventurous child can easily help themselves.

I know from terrible experience.

haliborange make an orange flavoured liquid multivitamin that can be disguised in a glass of orange
