shopped all over for vitmins for iZ ... *sigh* ... children's vitamins seem to have *just* vitamins, nothing like iron, phosphorus which i'm also trying to avoid ...

i don't think there's anything known about daily requirement needs for igs yet ... but would appreciate any thoughts ... esp. on the D3 amounts since BabyHerp was talking about that a few posts down ...

below is the contents for 1 tablet ... they're made for 2-4 yr olds ... using weight as a guide + assuming a 2 yo child weighs about 25 lbs, iZ weighs 9 lbs which would be 36% of a tablet ... to err on the side of caution, i'd reduce that to 1/4 tablet per day ...

~*~* "disclaimer" *~ please remember i'm *not* suggesting this for all igs on a daily basis ... iZ still has *alot* of healing + recovering to do and his doc recommends daily vitamins *~*~

thanks!!
