Vitamin Drops?
in Baby
Hi girls,
my HV gave me a leaflet on weaning and it said on it that if you are breastfeeding you should be giving your baby vitamin drops.
Ive never heard of this before do any of you give them to your little ones? If so which ones should i get?
Thanks
Gill

Sources of vitamin D are eggs, dairy products, meat. Sources of iron are dark green veggies, red meat, wholemeal bread, iron-fortified cereals (eg weetabix). Also it is important to take them outside...Gabe is usually outside for at least half an hour a day when we go for a walk.
If Connor is having a varied diet, a decent amount of breast milk and a walk outside most days, I wouldnt see the need for them. None of my friends BF lo's had them and they're fine. But thats just me!xxx
