Anyone give multi-vitamin drops to their LO? Any recommendations? Our pediatrician prescribed one to us, but said we could just buy one OTC instead. The ones on Amazon don't have the best reviews, so I thought I'd ask our trusty Hellobee community what they use!
Thanks in advance!

My pediatrician only recommended vitamin D drops since lo was ebf. I didn't give them to her though. Figured we go out in the sun often enough and I didnt get drops when i was a baby and am healthy

what age? Our pedi didnt have us give Liv any until her 12 month appt since she was EBF to 6.5 months. Now he prescribed one..something like Poly-V Sol or something? Ours has flouride in it since our drinking water here is de-flouridated. She HAAAAAAATES them. Even with the grape flavor they try to mask it with lol

Zoey is 7 months and EBF, eating homemade food. She has been getting vitamin D drops since birth, and the multi-vitamin was just prescribed. The amazon reviews said some things about the drops not tasting so great, so am not looking forward to the vitamin drops. She has a tendency to close her lips tight when she doesn't like something...haha!

We've been giving LO vitamin D drops since about 10 weeks (we live in WA and she was born in the winter so serious lack of sun). She is EBF and we introduced solids at 6 months and switched to a multivitamin...Poly Vi Sol (I think it's made by Enfamil). It tastes terrible (I tried it) but she takes it fine. I give it to her in the morning after her first nursing session and she loves to play with the bottle on my lap and then I set it down on the side table and put the dropper in her mouth...I think she thinks it's a game

M is primarily BF and I'm still on my prenatals and will go back ot multis after that's done. So i think she'll be fine getting them through my breast milk.
I actually asked about Vitamin D drops at her 2 months because where we live there's a lack of sun days. But they said to wait and we'll re-assess.
