I looked up old posts, and found a lot of stuff on what kind, but not much on age. When did you start giving your kiddos vitamins? AND what kind did you give them? :thinking TIA

we did the poly-vi-sol vitamin drops for the kids when they were under2. and then we started the regular vitamins at age 2 :D

the poly vi sol tastes like crap Ty wouldn't take it so I started at one giving him 1/2 of a flinstone...His Dr told me to give him half. Then at 1 1/2 I just started doing the gummies. He loves them and asks for them.

I start giving them half a flintstone at 1 1/2. Kat now gets a whole flintstone, she's 4.

Hmm, I think I'll pick up some Flinstones today then, and give him halves until he is 2. Thanks for the input ladies! :grphug

good luck-I am sure he will like them-I always gave them the thrill of letting them choose which one to eat that day:giggle

We use the Flinsstone ones. I started giving her vitamins around 18 months.

I LOVED Flintstones vitamins as a kid, I actually looked forward to them too! So it will be fun to see him enjoy them too! (L)

I started giving him the My First Flintstones a few weeks ago. He loves them and takes them with no problem!

They have Flintstone's for under 2 years old. They are just smaller. My baby sister took them
