Children's Vitamins

Do our little ones need vitamins? Well, the answer would depend on the state of your baby’s health and his/her pedia. Some doctors say vitamins are not necessary if the baby is perfectly well and/or is exclusively breastfed, while others prescribe supplements as a default. Regardless of what your take on this may be, I am listing down below the most commonly used and prescribed vitamins for children. :)  In no particular order:

Lia's daily vitamins have always been Cherifer and Taurex, and during those times when she needed to improve her appetite, she was given Propan syrup and Heraclene (not at the same time).  Now that she is turning 2, she will continue on with Cherifer,  stop Taurex , and add Ceelin according to her pedia.  I'll also ask permission if we could try Appebon with Iron because she needs to gain a little more weight, and I've heard very nice feedback about Appebon from some mommy friends. :)

How about your little one? Is/he taking supplements, too?  Feel free to share, hit the comment box below! :)
