Do you give your kids vitamins? We do the gummy vitamins daily. I have no idea if they do any good at all, but he asks for one every morning after breakfast. What do you think of the kids vitamins?

I used to take the Flintstones vitamins when I was little, but haven't really put much thought into giving vitamins to our kids. For those that do give them out, do you notice that they are healthier than prior to taking them?

We give my son Flintstone vitamins with immune systems support (basically just extra vitamin C). I think they help his immune system in the winter. They say for 4 and olders but he was so sick at the begining of last winter that we started to give him the ones with the immune systems support vs the regular one and I did see a different and he has not even had a cold yet this year.

I can't say that I've noticed him being less sick than normal! He hardly ever used to get sick, but he started preschool in September, and we've ALL been sick ever since! I can only imagine what kind of germs he's bringing home! Funny thing is, he's been the least sick out of all of us, so maybe they do help! He's always been very healthy overall...only a couple of ear infections as a baby and really only gets the sniffles occassionally, and maybe only what I would consider "sick" a couple of times. He's 3.5 years, and never had the flu, in fact, he's never even thrown up! So it's hard to say that I've noticed a huge difference since taking them, but he's been the least sick out of all of us.

How do you get your kid to take the vitamin? We can't get our 4 year old to take the vitamin at all. The only time he takes it is when his Aunt is giving the vitamins to my sons cousin. We use to crush the vitamin up and put it in his juice cup but he has figured this out and we can't do it anymore.

We buy gummy vitamins. He loves fruit snacks, so he doesn't even question the gummy vitamin. Does you son like fruit snacks? Give him a few fruit snacks each day and slip a vitamin in!

Yes he likes fruit snacks. I use to give him the fruit snacks and was trying to slip the vitamin in but he seemed to pick the vitamin out of the fruit snacks. I guess we just need to keep trying. Who knows. Thanks for the help.

I give my daughter a Flintstones vitamin every day.
