Multivitamin for baby?

Question

So my son is 11 months, turning 1 year next month and he’s on soy formula which he will starting weaning after next month. He’s familiar with solids, he has beans or tofu mixed into purees, whole slices or pieces of fruit, steamed veggies & pretty much anything we eat. My only concern is making sure he gets enough B12. I take a supplement daily but he obviously can’t have an adult multivitamin. Have any of you other vegan moms used infant multivitamins? And what brands have you found that are good?

Answer

Supplementing for infants and children on any diet is important for their developing brains. Make sure your multi vitamin contains b12, riboflavin, iron, zinc, iodine, DHA and EPA fatty acids, and k2 (MK-4). These are also important to supplement on a vegan diet. Always talk to their paediatrician before choosing.

Answer

I just seasoned my baby girl's food with a little nutritional yeast, as well as my own, and my supplementing with a b12 vitamin which I feel she gets some through breastfeeding. And I give her a baby multi-vitamin, I'll edit when I check the name - it's just really late and I'm midnight scrolling in bed haha. She's 3 years 2 months and has been vegan from the get-go and hasn't shown any signs of malnourishment. Since she's too little for bloodwork and I've had mine checked several times since she's been born, all of my bloodwork has come back at good levels - I extrapolate that her numbers would be similar since she eats all the same food that I do in addition to nursing. 
I think the best you can do is give your little fellow a varied diet for you and him, knowing that the breastfeeding helps and, as far as I've learned - supplementing b12 and vitamin d, when necessary, like during winter for the vitamin d depending on where you reside. Hope this helps.
