Vitamins?

Is anyone giving LO a vitamin? If so, what kind/brand? (liquid, gummy, chewable)

I bought flinstones chewables for Anna (pedi recommendation) and she can't quite figure them out. We're probably going to buy gummies instead, not sure which brand.

We give a children's DHA. I think the brand is nordic naturals? Its a soft gel chewable.

I asked my ped about vitamins. I was concerned because formula has all that they need and now that he's off formula he's not getting all that. She said as long as he's eating a variety of foods and eats enough meat, at least 3 to 4 servings a week, then he doesn't need vitamins. So, I know I didn't answer your question, but said all that to say you may want to ask your ped if it's needed.

Thanks! I was going to call her pediatrician on Monday to see if a vitamin was needed but I was just curious. I was looking at the Target brand that's comparable to Flintsones but it said recommended for age 2 and up. She definitely eats 3-4 servings of meat a week so she might not need it.

We've used poly-vi-sol since 2 weeks (the one without iron). He won't be ready for a chewable for quite some time- he only has 6 teeth- so probably two.

We use the Enfamil brand poly-V sol liquid with iron. It smells awful and D is not a fan. Her iron was low at her finger stick from her 12  month check up so we switched to the one "with iron."
