For thoes under the age of 2. Julia will be 2 on the 14th of November. I
have been putting the pills on top of a spoonful of food for 6 months now
she she will swallow the pill and still chew the food that she needs to. I
guess some how she figured out that she needed to swallow the pills and chew
food..
