Vitamins
Looking for multivitamin for my lb, and I was thinking of getting one with iron, as my lb is getting more fussy with food with little meat and veg, and is sleeping terribly, which I wonder is due to low iron. Does anyone know of any good ones? And are gummies safe at this age? He's 3 in 2 months x

@Tali did you get her blood tested for iron? Does she take a multivitamin as well? Thanks x
@Jane thanks. We have the baby one still but it doesn't contain iron and he doesn't love it 😔
Yes, but just routine as she’s got severe constipation. I didn’t request it specifically but I’m glad the paed did! Yes Novomins multi vit
My little girls having the gummy Barratts ones. I take the adult ones and had the preggo ones when pregnant. Only the preggo ones contain iron though. I think it's advised not to give kids iron. If you're worried they're anemic then I'd speak to a GP about a blood test. However I'm anemic, I take prescription Iron supplements, untreated anemia makes you extremely tired so they'd be sleeping more not less.

Well timed! My LG is anaemic and we’ve today just found an iron supplement she likes - finally! It’s the Maxmedix iron & vit C gummies for kids. I was hesitant about gummies too but have introduced the Novomins multivitamin and magnesium gummies (she didn’t like their iron ones) and they’ve been great. I just make sure she doesn’t eat them unsupervised. They’re so close to 3yrs now anyway!
