Vitamins?

Question

We go for our 18 month appointment next week so I’ll be asking our doctor for recommendations. I’m just wondering - should I be giving him vitamins? I gave D while I was nursing though I’ll admit not well. And he refused formula and milk when we quit nursing which I discussed with the doctor but he really never said anything. We try to do a varied diet but honestly most days consist of hot dogs and chicken nuggets 🤦‍♀️

Answer

The recommendation here in northern Europe (not much daylight) is to give babies/toddlers 10 ug of vitamin D per day no matter what the diet.
Then other vitamins are considered necessary depending on the diet. My allergic and vegetarian kid takes extra calcium (because no dairy or enough vegetables high in calcium in the diet), iodine and B12 (because no dairy, meat or eggs) and iron (not enough iron rich foods in her diet and problems absorbing enough iron). 😊

Answer

I've given the Zarabees brand multivitamin to both my boys since about 15mo.
I figure there's no harm in it.

Answer

Kids will be kids 😂😂 My girl has really great days where she eats all her food and tries new things, then days where all she wants is chicken nuggets 😂😂
She takes 1 vitinam gummy a day. Our pedi suggested it at our 12 month appointment because I was worried about her nutrient intake. She is now 21 months old.
