Does baby need vitamins while nursing?

Question

I’ve never gave my older vitamins as infants but people have been telling me I need to?
Baby is 2 months old and breast fed💙

Answer

My pediatrician recommended vitamin D drops since my daughter was exclusively breastfed. It doesn’t get transferred via breastmilk well. Formula is fortified with vitamin D. We gave vitamin D from the newborn stage on. 
At 9 months, we found out my daughter was slightly anemic after blood work so we had to start iron drops. By 12 months her iron levels were normal and we could stop.

Answer

Vitamin D drops if breastfeeding.

Answer

I was told 3 year ago with my first to give her vitamin d drops while nursing because in Canada we dont get enough of it ,pretty sure its already added into formula . I gave it to her when I remembered but to be honest that probably wasnt often .

Answer

Vitamin D

Answer

Vitamin D supplements! Enfamil makes some! They’re little drops! It’s recommended for breastfed babies.

Answer

I give my daughter a Vitamin D drop a day (just apply the drop to my nipple before she nurses). My SIL’s pediatrician told her she needed to give her daughter iron supplements while nursing, but I wasn’t told that.

Answer

You should just keep taking your prenatals, don’t give baby anything.

Answer

I was never told to give her anything. I take a prenatal vitamin every night.

Answer

You should be taking vitamins, but I’ve never heard of giving them to baby.

Answer

I avoid supplementation by incorporating plenty of healthy beef liver and salmon roe in my diet. That and raw milk/butter provides an incredible amount of complete real nutrition as opposed to supplements that are overly-processed and hardly work.
