Children's Vitamins
From the Manufacturer:
Making sure your little one has the vitamins and minerals he needs is a full-time job.
That's why there's Poly-Vi-Sol and Poly-Vi-Sol with Iron Drops. They provide nine essential vitamins, and Poly-Vi-Sol with Iron Drops also provides iron, which is important for psychomotor and mental development in infants and children. Although Poly-Vi-Sol is available without a prescription, it's a good idea to ask your doctor if this is the right choice for your child.

Poly-Vi-Sol Very Irritating to My Son's Stomach
by Michele Candler
I have been giving my 2 month old son Poly-Vi-Sol for a couple weeks now. I mix it in expressed breast milk twice a day (half a dose each time). As this product is straight liquid vitamins, it really irritates his stomach and he is inconsolable for about an hour after each feeding, even though I split up the daily dose. Their stomachs are so sensitive and it is hard enough for their digestive systems when they are so young. I think they need to make something gentler for infants. Chewable Flintstone vitamins don't take such a toll on kids' stomachs, so why should a vitamin supplement for infants be so irritating. I am rating this as 1.5 only because it provides vitamins, though not very gently.
So Good for you, tastes so bad
by Sandra Throgmorton
I purchased this item to give to my toddler son but the taste is absolutely horrible. It tastes like licking an iron pipe, however it is chocked full of vitamins and a very good supplement that he still takes everyday. So, for those of you that have to give this to your children for health reasons, I would recommend diluting it with juice or milk like I do. It makes the vitamins much more palatable and your baby and you will both be happier.
Not too bad
by Nadiyah
I have used this product for all my kids. They generally do not like it at first, but after a while they don’t mind slurping it down. The only thing that I can really say about this product that I do not like is the staining. Overall this is a good product.
Pediatrician recommended
by Heather
I started giving these to my daughter after my pediatrician recommended them. She has taken them for about 4 months. You can add them to whatever you want so that you don't have to give them with the dropper (that would be torture everyday). My daughter would not eat her cereal until I added a dropperful of these vitamins. Now, she gobbles up every bite of her cereal and gets her vitamins, too. Great product. I will buy again and again until she advances to the next stage of vitamins.
Helpful product
by Karen
I started using these vitamins with my daughter because the doctor recommended them since she was premature. At first she didn't like the taste, but she got use to them pretty quick. I would give it to her before her nighttime nursing each night. They helped me to know that she was getting all that she needed each day.
Pediatrician Recommended - Child didn't approve
by Amie
I am giving this an ok rating because it does great things. I nursed exclusively and our pediatrician wanted us to use this to supplement the breast milk. As stated by other reviews, it smells awful and tastes worse (yes I tasted it). My daughter hated it and would NOT take it even if I tried to mix it into expressed breast milk. We tried, but she avoided it at all costs.
Great for breastfed infants
by Felisha Griffin
My pediatrician recommended that my infant son take either Tri-Vi-Sol or Poly-Vi-Sol to get supplemental vitamins because he was exclusively breastfed. My son didn't like the taste too much at first; however, once he had taken it for about a week or so, he got used to it. I didn't like the staining that sometimes occurs with this product. I found it hard to wash out of bibs, clothing, etc using the gentle baby detergent. My son is not exclusively breastfed anymore so I don't plan on purchasing this product again once it is gone. The product is quite expensive; however, it may be beneficial for infants who aren't getting all the necessary vitamins through their regular diet.
Horrible
by Maudrey
I know vitamins are not supposed to taste good, they're supposed to be good for you. My pediatrician prescribed my twins Enfamil Poly-Vi-Sol. He advised me to just fill the dropper to recommended dosage and then squirt it into the inside of my infants cheek so that they would not push it out of their mouth. When I opened the bottle this overwhelming vitamin smell was horrible, so I decided to taste a drop of it..... Yuck!! Now I know why they spit it up. It provides the vitamins that my infants needed, but getting them to take it was not easy. After many stained clothes later, I stopped giving it to them and called my pediatrician
Bad Choice
by Haylie
These were recomended by my child's peditrician and I can honestly say I think he made a mistake. They smell horrible and stain whatever the liquid touches. We used these until my child was 6 months old and then we found another vitamin that is better. This does have all the vitamins a child needs, but I think they are a waste of time and money.
Good supplement
by Kayreyn
Breastfeeding is definitely the best as far as proper nutrition/vitamins for your infant. However, if you are expressing your breast milk, this is a great addition for your own milk. I like this product as it does not interfere with the quality of my breast milk and my baby takes to it well.
