More immune boosting gummies to protect you and your babies through winter!
Gelatin helps to line your digestive tract and promote better digestion, ginger and turmeric have immune boosting qualities and are natural anti inflammatories & orange, lemon juice and Camu Camu provide a hit of vitamin c
This recipe is suitable for 6 month olds, although I’d recommend swapping the orange juice for something without citrus (as citrus can cause nappy rash/inflamed skin) such as coconut water or carrot juice. Also omit the honey for <12 months – it tastes nice without it!
* tip – If you always spill your gummies trying to transfer to the fridge just leave them on the bench for half a hour and they will semi set! Easier to transfer

Would you be able to freeze the vit c gummies? Thanx
Unfortunately they freeze but do not defrost very well, they tend to melt!
I found your recipe on the Nature Baby site. Where did you get the worm molds? My older kids would love those! Thanks!
Oh my sister in law got them for me but I believe she found them on amazon?!
