Guest guest Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hi, My name is and I am new to the group and need some help. My dd is 19 months old and I am having a very hard time getting the Brainchild minerals into her. She won't let me near her mouth with anything as she wants to do it herself and it usually ends up everywhere but where it needs to go. I tried putting it in her cup of water but as soon as she tastes it she spits it out. She reacts to most foods and we are very limited with food choices so it is really hard to hide it in anything. She is still mostly breastfed so does not eat a ton of solids. Does anyone have any ingenious ideas of how I can get these into her? Thanks, Just starting the road of enzymes and supplements to solve MANY food reactions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 We use the brainchild liquid vit & minerals. I always put it in V8 Fusion juice. No sugar added 100% fruit and veggies. My son will not eat fruit or veggies so this works out great. Getting liquid supplements into toddler? Hi, My name is and I am new to the group and need some help.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 At first we mixed ours with juice. My advice is not to use too much juice, or you have to make sure they drink it all, and that can be tough. I would suck up the mixture with an oral syringe and squirt it into his mouth. Would your dd maybe squirt a syringe into her own mouth? As hard to believe as it might sound, my son (who HATED taking his vitamins) would become much more willing when I would give him a straw, or get him a special new cup- just something fun and differnet to catch his interest. -Sierra > > We use the brainchild liquid vit & minerals.
