Frequently Asked Questions
Toddlers can get vitamin C from foods like citrus fruits, strawberries, broccoli and Brussels sprouts.
However, because toddlers may not always eat a varied diet, the UK Department of Health recommends that children aged 6 months to 5 years take a daily supplement containing vitamin C to ensure they’re getting enough. (Unless they are drinking 500ml (or approx. 1 pint) of infant formula a day, as infant formula has vitamins added to it.)
A toddler multivitamin can help fill any nutritional gaps. Wellbaby Multi-vitamin Liquid and Wellkid Peppa Pig Multi-vitamins Soft Jellies both contain vitamin C.
Looking after your child's nutritional intake when they are young can help safeguard their long term health. Wellbaby Multi-vitamin Drops are suitable for children aged 4 to 24 months and contain a range of essential vitamins, including vitamin D which contributes to the normal growth and development of bones in children.

While most children can get their nutrients from a balanced diet, some toddlers – especially picky eaters – may need a little extra support.
