| No, we were told by the pediatrician that she didn't need them as we were formula feeding. Will ask her again when we go next week though as we've started weaning. | | | | Status: Offline

| I asked my doctor about it, and she said as long as LO wasn't a picky eater, and was getting a variety of foods in his diet, then not to bother as he's getting everything he needs. | | | | Status: Offline

| I gave Tom vitamin drops from being 8 months old for a couple of month when he stopped BF and wouldn't drink formula. Other than that I wouldn't have bothered. | | | | Status: Offline

| We have to give Poppy Abidec, Iron and Folic Acid evey day until she is 12 months, but that is only because she was premature/low birth weight. | | | | Status: Offline
