Vitamin drops

Totally forgot that they had vitamin drops for babies and looked for them yesterday and they still sell it.

Do you give your baby vitamin drops?

My mum used to use them for me and has been on at me to get Kyle them, but I can't find them!

I know where they have them in Canada

But that's no help to you.

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.

I had no idea about them...my doctor didn't say a thing.
Maybe I should ask her?

They have vitamin D drops for breastfed babies and then they have Tri-vitamin drops containing A, C and D, which I was thinking of getting.

We use Abidec (sp) for Dec. You can get it free on script

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.

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.

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.
