Poly vi sol vs. Tri vi sol

cassiejosh7

Does anyone know the difference between the two vitamins? I heard somewhere that one is for babies under 1 year and the other is for babies over 1 year but i'm not sure which. Please help! What kind of vitamin do you give your baby?

Our pedi has us giving DS Tri Vi Sol. But I don't know what the difference is.

Poly is like a multi vitamin; the tri is just 3 vitamins. I have seen a lot of people post their child hates the taste of the poly but loves the tri. I got the tri bc with bf, all dd really needs is vitD (and in the summer not even that).

At this age your LO only really needs the vitamin D in it so the poly vi sol is good.  If you find just vitamin D you can use that instead of either that you mention.

Our pedi said either is fine. But DS HATES the poly vi sol...he even knows when I mix it in with a bottle and wont take it. So we will be trying the tri vi sol and Im really hoping that it doesnt taste so bad for him

Our pedi told us to use Di vi sol which is just vitamin D or tri vi sol which is vitamins A, C and D.  We're using the tri and DD takes it really well.

We tried the Poly Vi Sol with DS and he HATED it!!!  Everytime we gave it he would gag and puke...not spit up but puke chunks.  I talked to my pedi and she told me about Enfamil Di Vi Sol...it smells and tastes so much better and we have had no problems thus far.  I just mix it in a pumped bottle once a day!!

you can also just get vit D drops. i have carlson baby d drops. you just use one drop on your nipple or in a bottle and thats it. my lo hated all the vi-sol and you had to use so much, so this was a great alternative.
