[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of supplements do you give to your child and what’s their typical diet like? I did buy supplements but wonder if daily is overkill. Here’s a typical day:

Breakfast:
Yogurt with berries and cereal
Water with Vit D drop, multivitamin

Snack at school:
Crackers and water

Lunch at school:
Pasta with cheese
Cantaloupe
Broccoli

Snack:
Rice cake with peanut butter and fruit 
String cheese

Dinner:
Fried rice/cauli mix with sausage and vegetables 
Fish oil supplement

After dinner:
Apple or 1/2 glass of soymilk [/quote]

Diet looks good.  Is there a reason no cows milk?  The only supplement you really need to give based on the lack of cows milk is vit D.  Fish oil is optional and necessary, but if it makes you feel better, go ahead.  No multi vit[/quote]

Thanks - I’ll up the VitD, I’ve been sporadic about it. No cows milk just because nobody else drinks it and DH thinks it’s “gross.” I buy it every few shopping trips and he also gets it when we get takeout or coffee. I’m not even sure if the “coop/organic/pasture” type milk we tend to buy even has added vitamins. I’m asian and lots of family are lactose intolerant, so I feel iffy about giving him milk daily. He does eat yogurt, cheese, and kefir pretty regularly. Fish oil/multi I give because we don’t really eat fortified foods at all. [/quote]
