Liquid Tasteless Vitamins

As you know, there are liquid vitamins.
Just try different brands, and see which one works best with your son.
Some have different flavors.
You could go to Whole Foods or any natural food store.
That is where I found one for my kids. A multivitamin.
It was the brand "Animal Parade" which makes great kid vitamins.
I really like this brand and my kids have liked it too.

Other than that, does your child really need vitamins?
If he does eat well and varied, it may not be needed.

For my daughter, I do give her calcium though, because she is not a dairy drinker or eater. And now at her age she can swallow vitamins and I give her Omega-3's too.

all the best,
Susan

You should contact his pediatrician about what he would recommend. Also is he taking all these vitamins because he is not getting the nutrition otherwise?

My neighbor’s pediatrcian recommended Pediasure for her 3 y/o daughter because she was not getting enough nutrition. She is a very picky eater. You can buy it at Walgreens I believe.

Google "Metagenics liquid vitamin for children" or something like that. It's a multivitamin. Super-good quality. I would say it's tasteless, but I'd be lying. But I put one ML in my son's juice every morning and he'd be set for the whole day (if he finished the juice).

Metagenics also makes a chewable multivitamin that tastes like oranges. It's a crumbly/dry chewable, but doesn't taste too bad. It says on the bottle that it does NOT have sucrose added. Ingredients say that there IS fructose.

btw - my son will be 3 in a month. He always willingly eats the chewables. If I didn't make the juice sweet enough, he would not always drink all of the juice. I think b/c it does have a little 'vitamin' taste to it.

I am wondering why you are supplementing Vit D into the milk. Most milk is fortified with it, even soy milk. As for C and B, those are easily attained through a well balanced diet, as mentioned below. I am a big believer in attaining vitamins and minerals from a healthy diet, because the balance of minerals and vitamins in food is perfect. When we start messing around with supplements, it gets trickier. For example, some vitamins work by igniting a reaction in another mineral. When eaten out of order without the mineral, the vitamin is useless, or even harmful. I read a study the other day that said that vitamin C supplements can destroy dietary B vitamins, so to take supplements at least 2 hours after eating. Anyways, I could go on and on about nutrition, and can't really answer your original question. But, I feel that you are invested in learning more, and would like to recommend a very powerful book about nutrition- "Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition", written by Paul Pitchford. It is a comprehensive nutritional bible, so to speak. I have been reading mine for years. It really breaks down the best way to prepare foods for optimum balance and nutritional benefit. It gives you all the information and allows you to make your own choices. (it is NOT a new age hippie book, but the author is centered in Sattva ideals) It covers everything from meat-based to vegetarian to raw foodist diets and their preparation. And children's diets too. It is written from a very respectful perspective and is almost 800 pages, and includes MANY recipes and techniques of food preparation. Hope that was helpful:)
