Does anyone give your baby vitamins of any kind? I have a liquid multi-vitamin for my older children, but I can't remember whether I gave them anything as babies. My son is 10 months old.

Thanks!

  • Both of my boys were formula babies so I didn't worry about vitamin supplements until they were 1 year old, and not drinking formula everyday anymore. 

    My 1 year old gets Poly-Vi-Sol vitamin drops every day.  I usually mix it with a little milk or juice because he takes it better that way, and doesn't spit it out.

    My 3 year old takes Lil Critters, gummy bear, vitamins every day.  He is a picky eater, and these are the only vitamins that he will actually take without a fight.  He actually thinks he is getting a treat because they taste like candy.

  • My son is 4 1/2 months old and I give him the poly-vi-sol vitamin liquid drops. The doctor had me give him vitamins. I did the same with my daughter who is 2 now.

  • My 1 month old hasn't been given any vitamins cause he doesn't need them but I was giving gummy vitamins to my 2 and 1 yr olds and they ran but I haven't gotten anymore.

  • My doctor prescribes a liquid vitamin for babies 5 months to about 18 months, then he switches them to a chewable.

    Where we live they do not put fluoride in the water, so that's why he prescribes one with fluoride.
