Di-vi-sol vs. Tri-vi-sol
I am EBF and my pediatrician would like me to give DS either di-vi-sol or tri-vi-sol. He has been using Di-Vi-Sol for the past two weeks because we had a free sample from their office.
I am getting ready to replace, and am weighing pros and cons of both. Obviously the Tri-Vi-Sol has more vitamins in it, but other than that, do you have advice re pros and cons of both?

Di-vi-sol vs. Tri-vi-sol
Most important for a breastfed baby is vitamin d as a supplement. The tri has iron, which they don't need extra. I would stick with the di until they are older.
Ask your pedi though

I don't think the tri has iron, I think the poly has iron. I think the tri just has vitamins a, c, & d. I used the tri (I wondered the same thing you are but just went with it for the extra vitamins). I bought the poly once but the iron gives it such a strong smell that ds wouldn't take it.. I asked the dr & he said he didn't need the extra iron anyway so I never bought it again.

Yep, was thinking of the poly. And it smells horrible. Dd won't take it. I had to drop it in her bottle.

The ped recommended either, but said no to the poly (b/c of iron)

Re: Di-vi-sol vs. Tri-vi-sol
Our doctor told us either is fine. From what I understand the additional vitamins in the tri-vi-sol aren't actually neccessary so they just get passed in their urine anyways. I got the di-vi-sol since the vitamin d was all that the doctor said she needed.

It tastes terrible too! I accidentally got that one instead of the Di-vi-sol and gave it to DD. A little dripped onto my finger so I licked it and gagged. It tasted like bitter cardboard. Blechhh

Re: Di-vi-sol vs. Tri-vi-sol
I give DS just vitamin D-the Carlson's brand that's literally 1 small drop in his mouth per day. Breastmilk has all the vitamins your LO needs, aside from the vitamin D (as long as you're eating healthy or taking a vitamin). I don't always remember to give him the vitamin D, but now that it's summer, we'll be out more often and he'll get it naturally from the sun, too.

My ped recommended the Tri-vi-sol. DS gags every time, so i haven't given it regularly. They never told me to give it to my first DS. so i'm not overly concerned.
