Yes I do. My dr. suggested we give DD vitamins at our first appt after I gave birth. He said that there are some vitamins that breastfed babies dont get(I think Vitamin D??).

when ds was on breastmilk, yes we gave him vitamins, suggested by our ped.
we stopped when he started to eat formula... at the last appointment our ped. suggested starting him on vitamins with fluoride (poly-vi-flor), he is 6 months now...

DS started vitamins after his first ped visit. Vitamin D doesn't get absorbed through the breast milk. He had to keep taking while he was EBF and until he was getting more than 50% formula.

My DD is 8 weeks. My ped mentioned it at first appt. but I forgot about it and didn't start them until this week. It's correct that BFed babies can be vitamin D deficient. It was actually on the today show the other day.

DD is 9 months and she just started vitamins. She has been taking only the flouride since 7 months and now it is a combo of both.
