Recommended Daily intake - vitamins for toddlers
« on: January 22, 2006, 19:13:41 pm »
Does anyone have a reference to a website that has the recommended daily intake of vitamins and minerals for toddlers?  Or has that information and can PM/email it to me?  Xavier has not been getting enough calcium and our family doctor said I could give him half a vitamin (like those chewable ones for kids).  I wanted to check to make sure that he won't overdose on any particular vitamin since the chewable ones are for kids 2 and up.

Thanks!

Okay, never mind. :)  There was a cancellation at the pediatrician's so we got in to see her earlier.  For your info, she said that the chewable multivitamins on the market (for ages 2 and up) were okay for babies of Xavier's age (he's almost 19 months).

Since Xavier can't really chew the Flintstones vitamins, I've been grinding them up and mixing them into his yogurt.  :)  I think the grape ones are the strongest flavoured; he can tell there's something weird in there.
