All Natural Kids Vitamins - Do they exist?

My daughter has been complaining of an upset stomach after taking
either the Flintstone's or Target brand vitamins. They both have some
type of artificial sweetener (Traget has Sorbitol) that I know can
cause this issue. I myself took the Flintstone and Target brand
vitamins for a week and found that I too had an upset stomach. The
pedeatric doctor said she knows of no vitamins that do not have an
artificial sweetener. We are going to try and give her the vitamins
after eating instead of on an empty stomach and see the results,
but......

Maybe it's the iron? There are vitamins without iron out there. Try those.
Taking with food usually helps.

Does anyone know of a chewable brand that is ***all natural*** and that
kids would like? Any other alternatives? Do you give your kids vitamin
supplements and feel that they are important?

I bought some type of gummybear vitamins at the health food store that
are fruit-juice based. Sorry I don't know the brand off-hand, but if I
remember to, I will post it later.

L'il Critters Gummy Vites are all natural, no artificial
sweeteners or colors. Target has a Target labelled version
(Children's Gummy multi-vitamin) that's a bit less expensive,
but they also sell the L'il Critters (for $3. less per bottle
than the health food store).
if she likes sour candy, L'il Critters also makes sour gummy
worm vites & a fruit flavor grubs vitamins that my 5 year old
son also likes. my son has been taking these since he was 2
years old. he has problems with some artificial colorings &
flavorings, and i refuse to feed my kid artificial sweeteners.

We use Animal Parade, they have a multi vitamin in various flavors and a
calcium, both hard/chewable, not gummi style. Available in health food
type stores, I've also found them at a veyr good price from The Vitamin
Shop on Amazon.

If your child eats a well-rounded diet, she shouldn't need vitamins. As long
as she gets plenty of fruits and vegetables, she should be fine without
them.
