If you have a formula fed infant under one, what vitamins if any are they on?

We got our vitamins through the pediatrician. I don't know the name (I can check when I get home later) but ask the dr and if they think DC needs it they will prescribe one.

Re: Vitamins - Formula Fed infants under 1

I don't think she was on any vitamins under 1 year old.
I do remember some nasty nasty drops the doc prescribed- some vits with iron maybe?
But I think that might have been over 1 year old.

I'd ask the ped what they think.
Formula is fortified with a lot of vitamins already

No vitamins even now at almost 2. My ped recommends them only if she feels they're needed.

I'm not a big believer in vitamins unless there is a reason for a deficiency. Ideally, we should be getting all of our vitamins from our food (not that I do, I'm a hot mess).

LOL- I feel like I survive on vitamins and supplments.
I'm not a great eater.
Some days I eat, some days I really just pick.
Some days I eat well, others I eat McD's and M&Ms.
I hate veges with a passion. I can barely choke down anything related to a vegetable. Sometimes I'd rather not eat if give the choice of nothing or a vege.
I feel like my body is made up for vitamin supplements.
