Are your kids getting it? For dd2 it's somewhere between 800-1000mg/d and for dd1 it's 1300. Dd1 hates drinking milk. We do oj with calcium but they only drink about half a juice glass a day. I have TJs vitamins but haven't pushed those in a while...maybe I should revisit that. Are your dc getting all the calcium they need in a day and if so...how?

My boys drink 2 to 3 cups of milk and take a TJ's multivitamin daily. They also get calcium from cheese, yogurt, and broccoli. Will your kids take a calcium supplement?

Perhaps....I haven't researched them yet though. I would really like to focus on getting this mineral from food sources, though.
