We just came from my son's two week ped appointment and she suggested I give him a multivitamin because it has some things that breast milk doesn't have in high supply, like iron and vitamin a for example. it's one drop a day. I've never heard of giving babies vitamin drops. does anyone do this our was anyone given the same advice? it's an OTC. thanks for your feedback
At 2w we started DD on vitamin D drops (she was also EBF) because our ped said since most people are deficient in vitamin D she probably wouldn't get enough via breast milk. We did not start a multivitamin until later, I think it was around 6mo.

My DD was started on a multivitamin with iron due to severe anemia. She's still somewhat low so they recommend that we continue her on it. It's enfamil brand and we just give her 1ml per day in a bottle.
My little one is getting multivitamin and vit D from me. I am using Isotonix vitamins-they drinkable, so you will get 90% absorption. Have been using them during my pregnancy as well and always had great test results. Here is more info if needed - https://www.shop.com/Isotonix+reg+Multivitamin+with+Iron-826250911-p+.xhtml
