After your little one’s first birthday, pediatricians recommend daily vitamin supplements. Vitamins are especially important to stave off colds and flus during the winter months, but just as important for behavior and development all year round. Check out this quote from Dr. Alan Greene’s website.
While frank vitamin deficiency syndromes are uncommon among American children (even among picky eaters), many children get suboptimal amounts - low enough to affect their health, their intellect and their behavior. There are at least 13 nutrients where suboptimal levels are common. We live in an age of highly processed foods. Even when we get kids to eat the fruits and vegetabls we want them too, conventional produces is often grown using agricultural tecniques that minimize the vitamin and mineral contents. Thus, I like giving children multivitamins as suppliements to the vitamins they get in their food. - Dr. Alan Greene.
Can’t get your child to take vitamins? Try Gummy vitamins available at most groceries and Whole Foods and Trader Joes. They taste great and the kids love them!
