fluoride

Is anyone giving your LO fluoride based on Dr. Recommendation? I have the prescription and have only given it to him once, I did research and didnt like what I found about it. Just wondering if anyone else had this recommendation?

Re: fluoride

  • At her 9m she was prescribed a multi vitamin with fluoride. I haven't picked up the prescription yet, but plan to.

  • yes, my doctor recommended this because our water isn't flouridated.  I have a friend who is a professor at a top university and studies nutrional epidmeology and she has done research on the effects flouride and doesn't recommend it...I really trust her opinion so I am not doing a fluoride supplement.

  • We were told to just give LO some water every day, but we have flouridated water.

  • At 6 mo we were told to get the vitamins with fluoride. I never did. At our 9 mo he said there is a brand new recommendation NOT to give it so he told us not to.

  • Thanks, I have not been so keen to the idea of it. Now I am  definitely not giving it to him!

  • I would be scared of DD swallowing it and it making her sick. I have never heard this and it's never been mentioned to me at any appointments.
