When it comes to kids’ growth, there’s one thing that every parent would agree with and it’s that it happens very fast. Was it really just recently when you introduced solid food to them and now you find them trying to run around every place they see?
At this stage, one question comes to mind. How soon after starting with drops should kids move on to syrups?
We all know, every baby develops at their own pace but why is it important to switch-up your baby’s vitamins? Find out here.
Stronger Sense of Taste
Toddlers have stronger taste buds than infants. As children grow and develop, their sense of taste becomes more refined and sensitive. This means that they may be more likely to reject medicine or other substances that taste unpleasant.
This is why they may be more likely to refuse the drops you give them. For this reason, it can be helpful to shift to syrups as they are more appealing to toddlers, because of their color and taste.
Encourage Independence
During this time, it's important to provide a supportive environment for children, as this encourages exploration, discovery and an early start on independence.
As you ensure that your kids feel supported, it can be helpful to gradually introduce them to self-care tasks, like assisting you during vitamins time. For example, you can start by having your child hold the spoon and help you pour the syrup onto it.
Although the focus is on encouraging independence, supervision is important and essential. This is especially true with making sure that your kids take their vitamins correctly and regularly.
Suggested Use
Children go through rapid growth and development during their early years. They need a variety of vitamins and minerals to support healthy bone growth, cognitive development, and the like. Syrup vitamins can help provide the nutrients needed for these changes.
As a child grows and their body size increases, the need for larger doses of nutrients arises. For example, the RENI or recommended energy and nutrient intake of vitamin B1 or B2 for infants is 0.6 mg while 0.9 mg for toddlers. Additionally, toddlers may need higher doses of other vitamins such as, but not limited to, vitamin A, vitamin C, and iron, compared to infants.
On top of differences in nutrient content, syrups are easier to measure and administer in larger doses.
