Should you give vitamin supplements to your toddler?

Many parents who are concerned that their child is a picky eater decide that their child needs vitamin supplements to ensure proper growth.

Specialists often disagree on whether a toddler needs vitamin supplements. It is adviced to give your child vitamins only if your doctor recommends so. Vitamin supplements might be necessary if your child is on a vegan diet, has some chronic conditions or growth problems. But many experts agree that vitamin supplements cannot substitute healthy food, which is the best source of necessary vitamins and minerals.
