VITAMIN SUPPLEMENT
Dear Dr.Bear,
My son is 18 months old and is taking Polyvisol drops as a vitamin supplement. I would like to know if he can take half of a tablet of a children’s multivitamin without any adverse effects. It says on the bottles I have seen that from 2-4 they get half. If this is possible is there a particular brand you recommend?
Sincerely,
Concerned Parent
Dear Concerned Parent,
That is ok to do. Some folks will give one pill every other day. Polyvisol or any other chewable that he would like to try would be good to use. Let your son pick his favorite brand and then he is more likely to use them.
Sincerely,
Dr. Bear
