I've been talking to a woman on Mumsnet whose dad is something of an expert in nutrition. A 'world expert', no less...

Anyway, she says that her dad is a real stickler for her and her baby taking a multivit every day, the thinking being that whatever they don't need will be excreted anyway so where's the harm? Optimum nutrition versus adequate nutrition and all that...

So I thought I'd buy some for Babybear to see what she thinks, and her answer so far has been 'take that weird orangey-flavoured stuff away from me'. I tried mixing it in to a yoghurt, but she knew immediately that I was trying to pull a fast one and stuffed her fist into the pot, sending the contents flying.

I'm still not sure she even needs them, to be honest, but I'm open to opinion. And then I need to ask if i can just go ahead and give her the chewy ones that say 'age 3 and up'?
