My 3 year old takes Flintstones Vitamins.  As far as getting the protein, he LOVES spoonfuls of peanut butter!  He thinks that he's getting a treat!  Plus, he loves to eat baby carrots, we call them 'Sports Candy'.  Hope this helps!

At 2-3 years of age you should be giving your child homogenized whole cow's milk. You can also begin to use 2%, low fat, or skim milk instead. Your child's diet should resemble that of the rest of the families, with 3 meals and 2 nutritious snacks each day. You should limit milk and dairy products to about 16-24oz each day and 100% fruit juice to about 4-6oz each day and offer a variety of foods to encourage good eating habits later.

Yes if you eat protein, it can help you grow muscles. To grow taller if you are still growing, eat lots of different foods.

Protein comes in many forms...you can drink an extra cup of Soy Milk, eat an egg, low fat milk, red meat (in moderation), etc.\n\nFor iron...liver is REALLY good for iron deficiency, as well as dark greens, beans, legumes, etc.  Cooking in a cast iron pot or skillet is a nice way to sneak in some extra iron, too.\n\nHowever, if you have this, you really do need to see if it's just your normal metabolism or if there's something underlying you need to address.

There's a GREAT source of information about vitamins at\n\nhttp://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSIHW000/35320/35323/442717.html?d=dmtHMSContent\n\nIt describes different kinds of vitamins, when they are necessary--and this site goes beyond the usual "pregnant women should take a prenatal vitamin" advice that other sites give.\n\nThere is even more information at\nhttp://www.virtualhealthinfo.com/news_vitamins.shtml\n\nI remember hearing a few weeks ago on NPR that for the first time, a daily multivitamin was recommended for people, even those who eat a pretty normal diet because the nutritional value of the foods we eat is no longer as good as it used to be.  I suppose this is why we can get tomatoes that may not taste like much, but which travel to market without damage.  \nI looked for an article on this, but I couldn't find it.  (Sorry.)

Benefits of Milk for Children.\n\nMilk is an exceptional drink. It can make an important contribution to the diets of children and teenagers. \n\nTo view the benefit click on the title you are reading.\n\n \n  \nMilk is the original ?fast food?\n\nA glass of milk is a quick and nutritious snack for children and teenagers.\n\nMilk helps to ensure kids don?t miss out on essential nutrients.\n\nA daily glass of semi-skimmed milk provides a six-year-old with all the vitamin B12, around half of the calcium, phosphorus and vitamin B2, about one third of the protein, potassium and iodine and around one tenth of the vitamin A, vitamin B1, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, magnesium and zinc he or she needs each day.\n\nMilk is a naturally nutritious drink.\n\nThe amount of nutrients supplied by milk is high in relation to its calorie content. Milk is therefore a particularly valuable food for children whose requirements for vitamins and minerals are high in relation to their energy needs.\n\nA 189ml carton of whole milk (4% fat) or semi-skimmed milk (1.7% fat) contains less fat than popular playground snacks such as a packet of crisps or a chocolate bar.\n\nSchool milk can help to tackle inequalities in diet and health. This is because milk is one of the most nutritionally complete foods. Milk is a nutrient dense food ? it provides substantial amounts of a wide range of essential nutrients in relation to its energy content.\n\nA 189ml carton of semi-skimmed milk can provide the following daily vitamin and mineral requirements for a 6 year old:\n\n52% of the calcium \n32% of the protein \n9% of the vitamin A \n11% of the vitamin B1 \n44% of the vitamin B2 \n16% of the niacin \n13% of the vitamin B6 \n98% of the vitamin B12 \n12% of the folate \n7% of the vitamin C \n29% of the iodine \n18% of the magnesium \n53% of the phosphorus \n27% of the potassium \n12% of the zinc \n5-6% of his or her daily energy requirement \n\nMilk is one of the best sources of calcium.\n\nA good supply of calcium is needed during the childhood and teen years in order to build strong bones and help protect against osteoporosis in later life. Milk is a great source of calcium. Although vegetables also contain calcium, to get the same amount of calcium as from one glass of milk, a young person would need to munch their way through more than twelve portions of spinach or more than eight portions of red kidney beans or more than four servings of broccoli.\n\nMilk is kind to teeth.\n\nDentists say that milk is one of the few drinks that are safe for teeth between meals. Sugary and acidic drinks such as fizzy drinks, squashes, fruit drinks and fruit juices cause teeth to wear away and decay if they are consumed too often.\n\nMilk drinking may help to control body fat and reduce the risk of obesity.\n\nResearchers have recently discovered that young children who consume lots of milk and dairy products tend to be leaner than those with lower intakes.\n\n \nMilk is one of the staples of a balanced diet and in Britain the average person consumes about half a pint a day. Milk and dairy products together provide about 55 per cent of the calcium consumed in Britain, 19 per cent of the protein and 27 per cent of the riboflavin (vitamin B2). \n\nBesides these important nutrients, milk also contains compounds that have been implicated as anti-carcinogens such as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and butyric acid. Calcium and calcium-rich foods, such as low-fat dairy products, lower blood pressure and may also reduce your risk of colon cancer. \n\nDespite milk's important contribution to the diet, articles often appear in the media casting doubt on its benefits. These doubts are often based on anecdotal information rather than sound, peer-reviewed scientific research but nonetheless once in print these myths spread by word of mouth. \n\nHere are the top ten milk myths, which are regularly defended by the Dairy Council. To view the facts click on the myth you are reading. \n   \n\n

This may not be a popular answer, but here goes... My daughter is 7 months old. I started her out with brown rice cereal instead of white, it has more nutrition. I also feed her mostly organic foods, such as Earth's Best. Sugar is a killer to your immune system. and yes, Pediasure contains sugar. They would be better off with a chewable vitamin that has few calories rather than sweetened milk with vitamins in it. I don't know how old your kids are, but I would recommend getting a copy of the book "Feeding Your Children For Lifelong Health" and "Super Baby Food".  Try switching them to organic milk. ALL regular milk contains pesticides from the cow feed, and antibiotics given to cure udder infections in the cows. Oh, and most of the milk tested also contains pus from the infection itself. Very gross. My husband and I started switching to organics as much as possible and started noticing less allergy symptoms and less frequent headaches.  Good nutrition is absolutely necessary.  Some sickenss is inevitable, but the impact of it can be controlled. Avoid antibiotics unless they are absolutely necessary. They kill your healthy bacteria and weaken the immune system. Eating yogurt will help to build up the healthy bacteria counts. Also, make sure that they are drinking plenty of water, but not tap water. Chlorine is not good for children or adults, nor is the heavy metal residue that comes from old water pipes.

There are many items that you can eat, such as fruit and yogurt, whole wheat toast with p.b. and chocolate milk. Any type of cereal which has at least 3 grams of fiber per serving. Just remember to get plenty of fiber along with = amounts of good carbs and protein along with healthy fats.

I take a multi-vitamin daily and I notice the difference when I miss a dose. Vitamins are a good dietary supplement if your diet is poor in vitamin-rich foods. But to specifically build muscle you need lots of protein. Chicken is a good source of protein if you like it (I don't mean the deep-fried stuff either). Good luck!

Broccoli and other leafy green veggies (spinish, kale, brussells sprouts), soy products like soy milk (tasty!) and tofu, almounds, and fortified foods like orange juice and cereals. Also antacids like Tums and supplements.\n\nDon't go for milk products. The animal protein makes you blood more acidic and more calcium is used up as a result. Backwards, huh?
