multivitamin for baby

posted 6th Aug '12
DS is on Nutramigen and I was wondering if I should give him a multivitamin. I'm mostly wanting to give him some extra vitamin C, since we are stopping vaccinations.

I read here: http://www.babycenter.com/404_does-my-baby-need-to-take-vitamins_9154.bc

that formula fed babies who drink less than 32 oz a day should take a multivitamin. He only drinks 21-26 oz a day. And only eats twice a day and sometimes has a couple of snacks. He has several food allergies so that's why. And also because of that, his doctor said she usually recommends a vitamin with fluoride at this age because our drinking water doesn't have fluoride but since he's so allergic she said we'd hold off on that. Well 1--fluoride is toxic and I wouldn't give it to my son anyway. 2--it doesn't really make sense that if i did want him to have fluoride i should give that to him simply because our drinking water doesn't have it? he's not drinking tap anyway!

anyway---multivitamin or no? he's 9 months and if so which one should i give?

My daughter is 2 1/2 months old and breastfed. Her pediatrician told me to give her Polyvisol or Vitamin D drops once a day because LO gets less vitamin D from mom when breastfed. I would check with your pediatrician though.
