Experts say that most children should and do get the vitamins and minerals vital to their growth and health from meals and snacks. Remember, most cereals, orange juice brands, milk, bread and other foods are often fortified with vitamins. So even if your kids hate broccoli, they may still be getting adequate amounts of the nutrients found in this vilified cruciferous vegetable, such as calcium, iron and potassium.
However, some children need to follow a restrictive diet for health reasons or are exceptionally picky eaters who may not get the nutrients they need from their diet. In those cases, vitamins can help and may be necessary.
And, then there are some parents who want to give their child a multivitamin just to be sure that they aren’t missing any vital vitamins or minerals, regardless of their diet. Either way, it’s likely that the children’s vitamin you choose won’t harm your child. However, there are things to consider before doling out vitamins with breakfast.
Extra doses of vitamins are not always benign. In some cases, excess amounts of certain vitamins and minerals can cause nausea, headaches, or diarrhea. Additionally, some vitamins and supplements may interfere or negatively interact with other medications your child may be taking. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to discuss health questions related to medication, vitamins and supplements with your doctor.
