Our pediatrician wants us to start giving it to DS and she gave us a prescription that has it mixed in with other vitamins (Vit D and A I think). The only thing I know about flouride is that it discolored my cousins teeth.
Did you give your 6 month + baby flouride? Is it mixed with other vitamins or on its own? How much do you give? Thanks!

We give Liv a multivitamin drop with added flouride in it. One dropperful daily. But where we live, there is no flouride in the tap water, so its recommended to give it to babies and kids. They can get spotted or discolored teeth from too much flouride. I dont know what the percentage of flouride is in Livs drops, but I could check for you
ETA - I didnt start giving the drops to Liv until she was 12 months old. Until then I didnt give her any flouridated water (like I said, our tap water is unflouridated) and any bottled water was pure.

there are mixed opinions about flouride, some doctors claim its good whilst others say it isnt. I dont even want to give my Lo water that has added flouride. We wont be giving her flouride until she is old enough to use regular toothpaste and drink regular water

Thanks ladies. I am definitely going to do more research on this. Our tap water is unflouridated as well, but we don't even drink out of the tap. We have arrowhead delivery because I can't stand our city water. I might just push it off until he is a little older.

We started giving Baby Jumper fluoride drops when she was 9 months old. Our tap water does not have any fluoride in it, and we use the tap water to mix her bottles and to cook.
