When did you start vitamins, and how often do you give them?

Do you always remember? Do they like taking them?

When did you start vitamins, and how often do you give them?

DS is 6 months and his Dr. gave them to him a few days ago, they are liquid drops that I give to him daily, ds will eat pretty much anything so he has no problem taking it. So far I have not forgotten to give it to him.

Re: When did you start vitamins, and how often do you give them?

All of my kids started on the liquid ones at 6 months. At 2 years old my twins started on the fluoride chewable ones. Im really good about remembering to give it to them bc I always put it in the baby's last bottle at bedtime and my twins always ask for it because I gues they like them.

6 months and it was a daily dropper Now that DD is 10 mo they changed it to a RX instead of the Tri-vi sol she originally taking

Re: When did you start vitamins, and how often do you give them?

DD started Vitamin D drops at 2-3 weeks old bc she is bf and my dr. recommended it.

We switched to a multivitamin with iron (poly vi sol or one of those) at 4 or 5 months but she does not like it. (We did the iron because she wasnt on cereal yet and the dr. recommended it.) Anyway, she makes a face and spits it out. So we give it 1-2x a weeks…or whenever we remember or we try to put it in a bottle. It smells nasty though. The vitamin d was yummy and smelled like cherries. This one with the iron is just gross, I feel bad even giving it to her!

I started at 1 yr once my son was off formula as told by my ped. We use liquid and I put it in his oatmeal every morning.

Started at 6 months and give them to DD everyday. She didn't take them from a while from like 15-18 months because she outright refused the liquid ones. I finally convinced my ped to give us chewables and she loves them.

Re: When did you start vitamins, and how often do you give them?

I think around 2 mo. I put them in their bottle. I tried giving straight as newborns and they gagged. They never had issues with it in bottles.

ETA I make bottles for th next day and put them in so I wont forget.

I gave vitamin D drops from birth and then switched to a rx multivitamin with iron at 6 months. I do forget here and there but she gets it nearly every day. It took a few weeks for her to get used to the multivitamin but now she takes it no problem.
