I’ve been ordering supplements for our family and thought I’d share. I researched to find out which brands came recommended by resources that I trust. Basically we all take a multi-vitamin and DHA/EPA (Omega 3 fish oils for mental acuity & mood). My husband and I both also take a probiotic for digestive health. A list of what I buy regularly follows. You can now purchase all of these from Amazon by clicking the links below or via the Babyminding Boutique! (under Shop! Eating)
For Britton (2 1/2 yrs old):
NutriStars – Kid’s Multivitamin (she loves these and reminds me every morning to give one to her! so, they apparently taste great but have no refined sugar.)
Carlson Laboratories – Kid’s Chewable Dha, 60 chews(this one says it’s for children 4 and up, but I think that’s because it’s a soft gel and some young children can choke. Britton is a very cautious chewer so she handles them well.)
Pregnancy Plus Prenatal Vitamin – Free Shipping ( I love these prenatal vitamins…they’re easy to swallow, gentle on the tummy and have no artificial dyes, colors, flavors or preservatives)
Do you know of any good powder or liquid vitamins for Nathan? He’s still battling the disphagia so I am looking for alternatives to the gummy like vitamins or chewables. There were a bunch at Nutrition World but I didn’t know which one was actually best. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!
My favorite powder vitamin is made by Rainbow Light called NutriStart Multivitamin Powder for infants and children 6 mos and up. You can order it from from the Babyminding Boutique via Amazon under the Eating Category – http://babyminding.com/shop/
