Do you give your baby fluoride supplements?
AJ had his 6 month check up yesterday and the ped prescribed him some fluoride supplements b/c apparently our local water doesn't have fluoride in it.
Of course, I question this and I'm just starting to do my own research on this before I give them to him. Just wanted to see if any bees on here have any info or give or don't give fluoride supplements.

We do not, but our pedi never brought it up...hmm maybe I will ask next time we are in.

I have done a lot of research on flouride and plan on avoiding it for my LO. There are studies both for and against, but here's one from the "against side".

We don't as we believe it's a hazardous chemical byproduct.
Mrs. Scooter did do a wonderful blog post on it though! Great place to start some research!

Following this as we were just prescribed the same since fluoride is not in our water either.
