Answer
Hello Marguerite!

  Thank you for your nutrition question.  I am sending you a couple of allergy free dessert recipes that you can prepare for your daughter that I believe she will enjoy.  Since she is very young and developing I would also recommend you go to www.juiceblend.com and pick up the fruit and vegetable gummie vitamins also!
