Subject : vitamin supplements

does any one use or know anything about them? ive had daisy being sick for a week tomorow she had a stomach bug days before that too she is now fineshing her anti biotics today but has nasty cough which eventually makes her sick. she is drinking some formula and plenty fluids but very little to eat and what little she does have is usually vomitted up at tea time or bed time. she isnt a great eater anyway and my friend suggested vitamin tablets . what do you think and are they chewable ?

I'm giving Oscar some haliborange liquid multivitamin while he's poorly which may be easier for her to take than a tablet.

Hope she feels better soon xx

we give Ollie either boots multivitamin stuff or minadex(which has a side effect of increasing their appetite) - minadex is designed for children during and after illnesses and is an orange flavoured tonic.

either of them are ok, never used chewable ones tbh. Not sure why... LOL! they do make chewable vitamins though, and sanatogen make ones that dissolve in the mouth - but i think they're a bit much like sweets for me...

Hi hun... I don't know what you have int he UK but over here you can buy gummie bear type vitamins at the pharmacy - DH tried them and said they don't taste like vitamins so may be worth a lookie for something like that... Isla doesn't use them yet but I'm thinking in the next few months of giving her something to "boost" her up over the winter...

Hope the lil lady feels better soon - you've had a tough week...
