My 2 year old loves her gummy vitamins but maybe too much. For her size I can give her one but she asks for more and more. I give her another cut in half if she didn't have any the day before. I have been cutting in half the original one I give her because she asks for more throughout the day. She eats well but does not like the gummy snacks just the vitamins. I don't know if I can give her anymore or if there is an alternative to the vitamins or gummy snacks she dislike that tastes more like the vitamins. As I do not like either, I can't taste test. Does anyone know of any gummy snacks that are not the Disney character ones that are in every supermarket she may like??

I would be careful not to give her very many of the gummi vitamins. The minerals may make her constipated. I would make sure she drinks water with them. We get a non well known brand of gummy snacks for my grandson. He likes them fine. They taste the same as the Disney ones. If she only has the snack option she will either eat them or do without. I just wouldn't give her more of the gummi vitamins.

She normally has tummy problems and see the vitamins actually help her when she had diarrhea. When she is constipated I don't go near them! She doesn't like the Disney ones that is the problems and its like her only go to when she is upset. I'm trying to find a good replacement as a snack that she can have more than once a day instead of handing her unhealthy options like an oreo her grandmother decides is a good option (I don't). I just had to empty out a bottle and give it to her to show they finished :) Hopefully this will work! Thank you for your comment :)

I would check a health food store. See what they have. And there is always carrots. They are sweet and so good for her! Just a thought!

She is not interested in carrots unless I juice them. She loves broccoli and I tried that for a while. If you known toddlers, they go through eating phases but this vitamin thing won't go away. She goes to the kitchen and sits on the floor in protest until I get more. She even put on my shoes and said I'll be back like she was going somewhere, too cute :)I bought organic fruit snacks once and she didn't like them either, I'm hoping she would like jello for the consistency but that was a no-go too! I'm still thinking of alternatives, thank you for your suggestions :)

My dear friend tangleddreams,
I came to know that in the deficiency of phosphorus a disease is developed named Pica. I am not very much aware about this but some literature showed that in this problem the kids like chewing gummy materials.
Thanks; and happy mylotting.
