Any: Any over the counter children's multivitamin is fine. If you chooses gummy vitamins make sure the child brushes his/her teeth after chewing the vitamin (to prevent cavities). Also be sure to read the bottle for dosing instructions. For 2 year olds, some vitamins are given every other day or a half tablet daily.
