Do you have any advice for parents with picky children? I have a 2 1/2 year old that would never eat this, intentionally anyway. LOL

You can add it to juice. It really does have an orange taste. Kind of like the orange creamsicle.

My kid is not picky at all and LOVES this so hard for me to say. He is also 2.5 and likes the process of choosing his packet and squeezing it into his mouth, so maybe emphasize the fun process part?

I'm one of those picky eaters, always have been, I think this tastes a little like orange sherbet ice cream so it may be ok. Another thing I do is put this on a spoon to quickly swallow it then you could immediately follow up with a spoon of pudding or something like that. Whatever you do, don't push it. The biggest mistake an adult made with me was making me eat something I didn't want. I immediately threw up and was embarrassed. That kept me from trying anything new throughout the rest of my childhood and early adult years because I didn't want to embarrass myself again. There are still things I simply won't try because I can tell from the texture I won't like them but for other things I do keep the spoonful or glassful of something else to follow up in case it's an issue.

My daughter does not like the taste of this at all, but she will eat it as along as she has something to drink with it. Maybe offer a special drink that he doesn't normally have, like soda etc, to make it 'special'. Or you could hide it in food (I did this with my youngest with motion sickness pills--at 2-3 years old she wouldn't eat them, even the kids chewable ones, though she couldn't ride in a car w/o them. I hid them in applesauce. You may have to do this, if the drink option doesn't work.)

Well...My family has notice an undesirable aftertaste. My kids, who would use sovereign silver often without complaint, now moan & groan when asked to take a dose. What I get for saving a couple bucks!!

My 12 yo male had no problem with it. I was a bit skeptical of the idea, but decided we had to try something because our dog was just too clever about eating the cat's poop. ICK! I did follow the advice to put some feces and a bit of urine (we use clumping litter) from the old litter box. Worked like a charm. I also have a young female, about 1-1/2yo, who also had no problem adapting.

Thanks for your help, but my baby got hold of the box and practiced chewing on it and whatever was inside, so my wife threw the slimy mess away. May I ask you to send me the link or the company contact phone or mail address? Thank you very much for your trouble.

Ours was melted into a big glob of rotten chocolate. It was horrible and my kids were so sad! We found some smaller ones in little purple packs from a different seller and they loved those.

Well this is pure opinion because people have different tastes but yes I think it is better. It does take me an hour to cook on very low however. My experience with kids is that sometimes if you tell them it is another brand they will not like it before they even taste it.

What a wonderful idea. I haven't tried it, but I can tell you, I sure am going to. WE bought our first Baby Alive this year for Christmas. It has to be okay. I think the main idea is to just have something that won't mildew and get gross, just in case it doesn't all get rinsed out with water. Great idea, good thinking! I think I'll just compare the consistency to Baby Alive food, and if it happens to be thicker, I thin it out with water to make them more comparable. Otherwise, I won't worry about it.

I'd probably wait another month or so. They do "melt" in their mouths, but until he's really good at eating chunkier purees and starts some solids I'd hold off on these. Their fine motor skills aren't developed enough yet to have the coordination to pick it up and put it in their mouth. I've always started with organic baby mum mums (rice rusk). It's large enough for them to hold and it melts faster than the puffs do.

it taste really good, so he may easily eat it. they are not hard but not soft. its really a pressed herbal blend. i think when you get it, try one for yourself. they do work amazing...i take them my self and the sinatrol is really good. good luck. i think you'll know when you get it what your 2 year old can do.

I actually called the company about this. They did not give me a specific number per pop but they said they do test and the level per pop was well below level associated with problems. We just limit consumption with our kids. It's still a candy after all.

I bought it for my daughter, but by the time we received it the problem was over! :-/ I bought it because I remembered that it was the only medicine that I truly liked when I was a kid. I don't think it tastes any worse than all those horrible bubble gum flavored things out there - I think it's better. In my experience, most medicines cause refusal and crying! The vomiting is a mystery to me. I have started giving my daughter regular doses of fiber and probiotics (both are the gummy types) and we've never had a repeat of that particular issue since - so there's that. Good luck!

My daughter is very picky and will throw up if it had a weird taste or texture but she loved this flavor. I would recommend!

Both of my girls (6 and 3) like these vitamins. My youngest is extremely picky and she eats them with no problem. I tried one and think they taste fine. A bit chalky like any similar sort of chewable vitamin but not bitter for us.

I bought this for my son who turned two! I felt pretty confident that he was not going to try and shove this thing into his mouth and choke on it... I was more worried about getting the wheels caught in his or his sister hair, if he wandered it near hair while the little motor was running. I think that it has the potential to rip some hair out. If you're worried about you child choking on this, then, STOP right now and don't order this. Order him or her a helmet with a mouth guard and follow them around the house padding everything they bump into.....or cut the cord and left them discover the fun of life and toys!
