Help! I really need advice quick on how to get supplements in to my son

February 22, 2010

Long story short, my 3 yr old has suddenly decided he does NOT have to take his

supplements. I have been mixing them into a container of baby bananas for the

past 1.5 yrs with no problems. He is absolutely refusing to even open his

mouth. If I try and force it in he will throw up. Does anyone have ANY

suggestions for me. He has not had them for 2 weeks and we are noticing a

decline in language and behavior. I need to find a solution fast. I have tried

putting them into a spoonful of jam, peanut butter, and mixing them into liquids

with no luck. He is smelling anything I try to give him now and if it remotly

smells like vitamins he will reject it. I have also tried putting it in a

syringe and going that route but again he will just throw it back up. He has an

incredibly sensitive gag reflex. Funny thing is that he will still eat his

NIGHTIME bananas that has his probiotics and fish oil in it. I don't want to try

and put everything into his nightime because his probiotics are so important and

I can't have him refusing them too. Please help!! Thanks in advance.
