Hi! I have a two year old daughter names emma! I have read some things about certain vitamins helping kids with downs, and I was wondering if any of you have tried any of them, and if they help your child. I have tried giving emma nutrive and it seams to give her an increase in appitite, which is good because shes a very picky eater! However I really havent seen any other affect from it!

" I posted a reply on the other question about vitamins for our kids.I have been giving MSB+ to my DD since she was 3mths old. Her blood test a 6mths came back normal so i know that im not hurting her by giving her these. I dont believe that these vitamins are miracle drugs but i do think they help replace whats lacking in our kids immune systems. I cant tell you if i have seen any other affects from them, as i said my DD has had these since she was 3mths and i dont know what she would of been like without them IYKWIM. I dont see what harm can be done by giving a vitamin supplement, i would give a vitamin to my other kids if they needed it. "

" We started our daughter Dylan on Nutrivene supplements when she was 3 months, along with a high dose of fish oils that I took (I was breastfeeding her). She is almost 9 months now and doing amazing. I think it's important to supplement since we know their little bodies aren't able to do and make all that they need. "
