MSB+ Iron?
Reply with quote

I've read a couple of messages in this forum that MSB+ has iron in it. When I got our free samples (and when I look at the website) I saw nothing about this product having iron in it. Is there something I'm missing?

Two other questions:

Have you all noticed the MSB+ smells yucky?

Has MSB+ changed your child's napping or sleep habits? Isaac is down to one nap and has been waking frequently at night. It may be time for him to drop a nap and he's getting two top teeth, so that could be it too. Just checking with everyone else though. I certainly hoped Will and Isaac would go to one nap at the same time, but I don't think I'll be so lucky...

MSB+ has .675mg of iron which is about 4% of daily need. Negligible.

I wouldn't say it smells yucky but it does smell like a vitamin.

Mikey seems to be more alert during the day and sleeping better at night but I'm not sure that it is related to the MSB+.

today, we have one week giving it to Elias

yes, I think it smells yucky, but like Tom says, all vitamins smell like that.. first two days we tried to give it with his juice in the sippy and like he doesn't drink the juice fast, then the juice tasted really bad, so now im mix in it with the rice w/ milk he eats in the morning and he's taking it better

past Saturday i gave him the vitamins around 5pm and he didn't wanted to sleep until 11pm when he usually at 9:30 is sleeping
then on Sunday i gave him the half of his dosage in the night, and same again he didnt wanted to sleep
well on Monday morning he wake up until 9:30am when he usually is wake up by 7am! so this changed everything, since he takes his 2 hour nap at 10 am because at 2pm we go to school. and then he took his nap after school, so figure he was waking up at 7:30pm! and yes... didnt wanted to sleep until midnight!!
tuesday was the same

but Monday and Tuesday I gave him the complete dosage in his breakfast, and by yesterday (Thursday) he was back again to his normal sleeping times! THANK GOD!

It's probably never a good idea for anyone to take their vitamins in the evening. Very Happy

Glad that Elias is back to his usual schedule!

I give Kayla 1/2 her dose in the AM in her milk, although she usually doesn't finish it, so I give her the rest of the milk with her after school snack, around 4PM. The other 1/2 dose I usually give with her evening snack, around 7PM. She usually falls asleep by 9.

The vits (MSB and NTD) tend to have no or little iron in them b/c our kids tend to store too much iron. It is the opposite with zinc, there is zinc in the vits b/c our kids tend to not have enough zinc. Smile
