hi everyone! i was just wondering what different children's vitamins you all used??? james never liked the vitamins that i was giving him, but i have been thinking about trying the gummy vitamins that are like gummy animals. i have looked into them and one of my good friends has a 4 year old daughter and a 2 year old son that are using them. she said they are great and never has a problem with the kids wanting to take them. what do you all think? do any of your kids take the gummy vites?

Hey there I used to give my son the gummy vites, but you have to be careful about what brand you use. I was reading in Oprah magazine a while back that the Little Critters Gummy Vites have high amounts of lead in them. Dont buy those. Lead can be very toxic. Suprisingly enough wal-mart still carries them. I myself prefer vitamins from the health food store, but i also have an autistic daughter, so everything we get is from the health food store. Good Luck!!!!!!

i heard about the rumors of lead in the little critters gummy vites as well so i went to the web site and apparently the claims of lead in the little critters have been disproved. comsumer lab has actually reported that their initial findings were misleading and that there is no detectable lead in these vitamins. i just recently started giving them to james (3) and he thinks they are great! any other mommies use gummy vites?
