My 2yr old will not take his vitamins..?

Question

Would it be ok if I were to crush them and put them in his juice or something like that?? They are pretty much just the flintstones ones we used to take but are from a clinic and not shaped like really anything just fruity smelling.. But yeah Jus want to know if I can crush and still get the same results..

Answer 1

oh yeah it actually works quicker. you can also put it in food. like some fruit or something. or you Can make them think it is candy. do it as a treat. you would probably have to change vitamins though because he knows what they look like.

Answer 2

yeah you'll get the same resualt crushing vitamins doesn't change the chemical components of the vitamin. crush them,mash then,put them in ice cream,on fruit,what ever

Answer 3

Why don't you buy liquid vitamins?  Poly-vi-sol (made by Enfamil) is the most common one, found in the baby product section in grocery stores and pharmacies.

Answer 4

If he can chew them, then crushing them won't hurt, and skipping a day every now and then doesn't hurt either.  Putting them in juice might stop up his sippy, though.  My kids love yogurt, and a spoonful of yogurt mixed with the crushed vitamin might do it.  

Ask the dr., she might have some ideas or a different vitamin to give.

Answer 5

Best invention ever- they actually make childrens vitamins in a gummy bear. Just make sure you keep them out of reach. I've tried a few to make sure the kids would take them and they taste just like normal gummy bears.

Hope that works for you!

Answer 6
