Babies on the Brain

do they make a liquid baby vitamin that isn't vile?

We got the generic of what the doc said to get and the issues?

1-smell horrid
2-taste horrid (I assume--from how baby reacts)
3-have the dying power of iodine?

(we have to be careful or she pukes from it too--more than normal baby-spitup--have to nurse her, stuff the vitamins in, and nurse her more. )

My bra has purple spots and my nipples are dyed.

Re: do they make a liquid baby vitamin that isn't vile?

  • Are you talking about poly-vi-sol?

    As far as my pedi goes she says if I am taking a prenatal or multi vitamin and nursing that baby needs is vit d

    they do make a D-vi-sol and it does not stain (for us it didnt at least), tastes and smells much better O loved it actually wanted more.

  • This probably won't help you yet since it appears your baby is young, but for DD I put her vitamin drops in strongly flavored juice (like tropicana banana/tangerine/strawberry). She gets 2-3 ounces of this juice with the drops at breakfast time and she sucks it down fast, so the overly sweet juice must help hide the nasty liquid vitamins.

  • We never had a problem with Tri-Vi-Sol, she actually seemed to like it straight from the dropper.  We upgraded to the Poly-Vi-Sol at 6 months and she HATED it, so I said eff it and went back to the Tri.  At least she's getting something, mainly the vit D.

  • We got D-vi-Sol, generic at Target (they keep it in the pharmacy, so you have to ask the pharmacist if you want to buy it).  It was so much better than the other vitamins we tried.
