Did you give DC vitamins at 12 months?

DD turns 1 at the end of the month. I am weaning her off the formula and offering her a little whole milk in a sippy cup every day. She does not seem to like the whole milk very much, but I know it's still early. Over the last week or so, she has not been eating as much solid food as she normally does. I'm a little worried that once she is completely off formula, she is going to go through a phase of picky eating and not get the nutrition she needs. Have any of you experienced this, and did any of you give vitamins to DC at this age to compensate? Any particular brand? TIA!

*I plan on asking the pedi, but I couldn't get an appointment with him until 3 weeks after her birthday. I'll try calling if the problem persists.

    We do. We started because Emme is drinking Soy milk (milk allergy) but our Pedi said she is starting to recommend Poly-vi-Sol for all toddlers.

    We use the Poly-vi-Sol- I mix it right into her soy milk sippy and she does not even seem to care. Just once a day, though.

    HTH.

    We don't.  I was going to ask the Dr at our appt., but forgot.  DD did go through a picky time (well, she basically didn't eat!) but got over it quickly.  I'm going to ask when we go in again in a few months.

    Yes. ?There is a prescription version of the?Poly-vi-Sol that also contains?fluoride. That's what we give her. (our town water doesn't have fluoride added). ?

    Thanks! The first couple of seasons of the The Fresh Prince was my favorite show when I was about 12 years old. Big Smile

    We've always given DC a liquid multi vitamin, mainly for the vitamin D, but we figured we might as well do a multi. We use Nature's Plus Baby Plex Animal Parade (it's all natural, no artificial colors, naturally flavored and DC likes it.) We also give him liquid vitamin C- Child Life Essentials- before and after vaccs, Dr. visits, being around a lot of kids, etc. He has never had a fever, ear infection or a bad cold. The only time he has ever been sick was a stomach bug at 12 months. Who knows if it's the vitamins, BFing, or just luck, but I'm sticking w/ them!

    Our ped. had us start poly-vi-sol at 12 months. She recommends it for all toddlers because studies now indicate it is impossible for them to get enough Vitamin D and K through diet alone.
