Vitamins and Flouride Question -

When did you begin giving your child vitamins and fluoride... And what kind did you give? I saw eight varieties of vitamins at BRU (in the droppers).

I meant to ask the ped this today and forgot!

I'm pretty sure they don't recommend fluoride until age 1. I'm also pretty sure you need a prescription for the vitamins with fluoride. The different varieties over the counter are just different multi-vitamins.

DD took vitamin D as an infant to supplement bc she was EBF...I can't remember giving her any other vitamins until she was 1 and got the script for fluoride.

Definitely see what your ped recommends.

Talk to your ped. My ped prescribed vitamins at 6 months for both of my kids and both fluoride free because of the extensive history of autoimmune diseases in my family.

Our LOs took vit D since they were EBF since they were infants. We started vitamins at 1 with no flouride, our ped does not recommend it.
