Breastfeeding--vitamin supplements?

Our pediatrician wants LO to get vitamins every day. I have heard of Vitamin D drops, but he wants him on all kinds.

He recommended Poly-Vis-Sol Drops with Iron.

Is anyone else doing this? It seems very weird to me to put him on so much.

    We do vitamin D only.

    Poly-vi-sol with iron sounds like total overkill. It also tastes like a$$.

    Our pedi just says Vitamin D.  Even for toddlers, my office says no vitamins other than D.

    We only give DD Carlson D drops. The rest is completely unnecessary and can actually lead to a decrease in LO's iron stores.  I'd skip it.

    I give my little guy the multivitamin with iron. It definitely tastes like blood. The pedi wanted him on vit d. When buying it, I saw that the multivitamin had the same amount of vit d as the plain vit d, but with just a lot of extra stuff....so I went with the multi. I just asked the pedi about it at the last visit and she said it is fine.

    Our ped recommended the same. I mix it with 2 oz pumped BM so my daughter doesnt mind the taste. Honestly, I was relieved when he suggested it because i have a really hard time remembering to take my vitamins so I was worried about the quality of my BM. Just giving the vitamins directly to her is easier for me.
