Vitamins for Kids?

Do your kids take any vitamins?  Every Dr. is different and some recommend the kids take vitamins while others say its not necessary if they are eating a well-balanced diet.  Its a personal decision for your family to make.  This list below has some ideas of different types of vitamins to try for your kids.

Pediatric Associates of Kirkland states on their website:
"Vitamins and minerals are chemicals needed in tiny amounts to stay healthy. A healthy diet is the best way to get these nutrients. Most children who eat a healthy diet do not need vitamin and mineral supplements. Children who have a poor diet, liver disease, cystic fibrosis, or other medical problems may need to take vitamin and mineral supplements. Premature babies and children who are breastfed may also need certain supplements. Check with your child's health care provider before giving your child vitamins and minerals."
