I was reading the thread about sneaking veggies into your children's food and it made me think of another question. There is a vitamin like pill on the market now that is suppose to have a full day's serving of fruits and veggies. My dd is almost three and takes a multi-vitamin every morning before preschool but I wasn't sure about also giving her one of these items. A part of me thinks that the world is starting to rely too much on pill/bar/shake forms of food but then again I do want my dd to have all the nutrients that she needs. I always serve fruit and veggies with every meal but there are veggies that she likes but there are days when she doesn't want to eat them....KWIM? What are your thoughts?

My ds is not on vitamins. But, most vitamins are called 'supplements'. So they are just that, a supplement. So, if you decide to start giving it to her it's not instead of feeding her healthy food, just as a back up plan of sorts I would say. KWIM?
