Children's Health

A child is not a small adult. Most healthy children eating reasonably need nothing at all, and the ones worth giving are few.

What actually helps
  • Checking the age on the box before the flavour.
  • Vitamin D, which is the one most children are genuinely short of.
  • Keeping gummies out of reach. Too many vitamins is a real poisoning.
  • Food first — a fussy phase is usually a phase.
