DS was ebf for his first year and we gave him vit d drops during the winter time (MI)... Now that he's transitioned to table foods + almond milk, I am looking into what vitamins he needs to take.
Pedi didn't mention any at his 12 month. DH saw an ad about dha the other day and asked if we should be giving DS that...
How old is your LO and what vitamins are they taking?

@autumnlove: these are the one's A takes, I was trying to think of the name! Does she take the complete ones as well or a different type?

21 months and no vitamins. I was under the impression it's not really necessary. The AAP advises them only if a doctor recommends it. I think Vit D is the one exception.

15 months and no vitamins, our ped said she shouldn't need them as long as she's getting adaquate nutrition through food!

5 yr old and 2 yr old take an honest company vitamin every day.'i don't think it's necessary but it's a food based vitamin so I don't think it hurts.

16 months, and Vitamin D (our pedi recommended it since we live in PA and our winters are long).
