Lifestyle, food and drink, and our family life and travel adventures.
My daughter generally has a pretty good diet; we have a home-cooked meal most evenings, she pretty much only drinks water, and she is a really good eater so she eats a good variety of things.
She is a nightmare with fruit though, and she won’t eat anything except the very occasional banana. When she was little she would eat all different fruits but now if she can even see a hint of fruit in something then she won’t eat it.
She does always have vegetables with her dinner but we have always struggled to get her anywhere near her five a day. I wasn’t particularly worried when she was small and still breastfeeding as I knew she would be getting the nutrients she needed from me. But it has bothered me for years now and I do worry that she’s not getting all of her vitamins and minerals.
We all try, as parents, to get our children to eat as healthily as possible and eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day (or even one or two!), but realistically it’s not that easy.
I’ve tried to get her to take a multivitamin before too, but she’s never liked any of them and so it’s difficult trying to get her to take them every day. Not only that but all of the ones we’ve had before have had artificial sweeteners in them to get them to taste nice so kids will eat them and so they always felt to me that you were getting a potential detriment to your health alongside the health benefits.
But there’s a new kid on the block and they have changed everything!
Feel Kids Multivitamin is one of the brand’s newest products and we were sent some to try (and I’ve ordered some myself too).
I’ve talked about Feel products and how great they are for a while now and so I was pleased that they had started doing a multivitamin for kids but I still didn’t really think Ava would keep taking it.
Feel Kids Multivitamins are formulated for kids aged 3-16 and contain 10 essential vitamins plus zinc to provide the nutritional support and energy kids need each day. They are designed to support their brain development, their bodies and their mind in 1 to 2 gummies per day depending on their age. As with all of Feel’s products they are vegan so suitable for most kids.
Childhood is a prime time for brain growth and development and of course, children are so active all day long, so it’s such an important time for them to get all of the nutrients they need. The gummies are gentle on kids’ stomachs and simple for the body to digest.
They are sugar-free, artificial sweetener-free, contain no artificial preservatives or fillers and contain only natural flavourings of apple, carrot and safflower extract. Feel multivitamins just contain two types of natural sweetener (Maltitol and Steviol Glycosides) to make the vitamins taste nice (they’d taste awful without anything!) and they are much, much better for us than the fake stuff so many children’s supplements contain.
Feel are really honest and clear about the ingredients they use in their products and as a parent that is something I need if it’s something I’m giving to my daughter every day.
They taste great and Ava loves them so much that she is disappointed that she can only have one a day at the moment! I’m so, so pleased that we have found a multivitamin that she actually wants to take and it just gives me that reassurance that she is getting the vitamins and minerals she needs despite her diet. Feel gummies fill the gaps in her diet and just make me feel a bit better when she’s only had one serving of veg all day!
The best way to buy Feel’s products is with their subscription service as they are much cheaper that way and you can cancel at any time, plus your first order is even cheaper. If you then like them and want your children to keep taking them then they will be delivered monthly so you don’t have to worry about remembering to order them, which I find so handy.
You can choose how often you receive the delivery too – I’ve just moved our delivery of these further back as we don’t need any more yet and it’s super quick and easy to change.
The packaging is all plastic-free and compostable and they come in a box that fits through the letterbox so you don’t need to worry about being in to accept it.
I love these multivitamins so much and I’m honestly so glad that we now have one that Ava is willing to take and actually wants to take every day. It just gives me that extra peace of mind and reassurance that she is getting all of the vitamins and minerals she needs to grow healthy and strong!
