Vit C is good for ur kid, u can try brands that are suitable for kids. Some vit c are catered for diff age group. Do check with the pharmacy or PD when u visit one..

My son had been taking Nutrilite vitamins for the last 5yrs...
he is having:
1. Protein powder, its very important for the growing children, each and every cells in our body need good quality protein...
2. Chewable Multi Vitamins, this is to make sure our child have a balance vitamins... we will not know what are the vitamins our child short off.... so this will make sure they have everything they need.
3. Chewable Vitamin C, this vitamin is water soluble.... therefore we need to make sure they have enough of it in the body to fight against all bacteria and viruses....
4. Chewable Calcium and Magnesium, this mineral is very important for the growing child.... if you want your child to grow tall and not hyper active, this is a must mineral... and magnesium is helping our body to absorb calcium better...
Cheers :)

Ever since she started CC at 20 months, been falling sick frequently.. Improved alot after giving her Vit C supplements.. Now she is taking Vit C and fish oil.. But she finds the Children's fish oil capsules hard to chew n swallow.. Any mommies recommend a good liquid fish oil? And was thinking to switch her Vit C to sambucol but I'm not sure if it's better..

My son is taking childlife vit c. He falls sick quite a lot before that. I tried giving multi-vits but he still fell ill until I started him on Vit c.

Sambucus I only feed when my son is coughing or ill. I used to give colostrum but it seems too heaty for him, so I stopped.

Fish oil he's taking Carlson's Kids cod liver oil. He likes this one a lot.

Hi diymummy,

how did you know that colostrum was heaty for your son? I'm giving my dd 1.5scoops of colostrum to boost up on her immunity. Does sambucus helps while coughing? given after the med? is the dosage the same?

TIA

I added omega3 to my son's milk in the morning since he was 3 days old. he's now 7 and takes the capsule orally along with garlic thyme. Brand: forever living. My son stopped omega3 and garlic thyme for a while & he started having sinus. That stopped a week after we resumed his intake. i'm a firm believer of supplements and im happy my 7 year old can swallow large capsules :)
