My daughter is a picky eater, so it is hard to get her to eat her fruits and vegetables. She does like taking her gummy vitamins though. I was relieved when I found a way to get her more nutrients. She likes them so much that she really throws a tantrum when she can’t have them. I must make sure that she doesn’t see them in the cabinet because as soon as she does, she will not stop until she’s given one or two. Sometimes I am a little concerned about given her more than one in a day. Any advice? – GUMMY MOMMY
It is very important that you do not allow her being upset momentarily influence your decision. Parents and guardians place their children’s wellbeing and safety as the upmost priority. Even though gummies are tasty and convenient, it is important to remember that gummy vitamins are a supplement. Supplements are designed to supply additional nutrients but overconsumption of some vitamins and minerals could lead to serious issues. Remember to keep safety first.
• Follow the directions on the package.
• Make sure to store them properly and securely.
• Explain to your little one that the gummy isn’t a treat. Remind her when necessary.
