In our last well-baby doctor’s appointment, our pedia asked if we wanted to give our youngest daughter some food supplements. Although Mika is not underweight or small for her age, we would welcome a few more pounds to be added to her current weight. So, we followed the pedia’s suggestion to give vitamin B complex for Mika in addition to her daily dose of vitamin C (with Zinc). We initially bought a popular brand to test whether she would take it but after a few days, we were sent samples of another brand – Nutri10 plus. We again tried this with Mika and she seemed to not notice the difference in taste and took the syrup without any problems!
The package was sent to us with another two bottles of vitamin C with zinc – which is just perfect since Mika’s vitamin C drops are almost gone.
I did not have any problems giving these supplements to Mika, so it must mean it tastes okay – otherwise this little princess would’ve just spit it out! I noticed that taking these vitamins made Mika eat more, although I have yet to find out on our next pedia visit if she gained more weight this time.
To be honest, I was really skeptic at first to let my kids try vitamins which my pedia did not suggest. However, I did my research (checked BFAD, really!) and read more about Nutri10 Plus and Dayzinc and so I let my kids try this new set of supplements.
