Vitamins and Supplements
It is recommended infants exclusively breastfed receive a vitamin D supplement. Beyond that, most infants and children who are properly fed with a well balanced, age appropriate diet require no additional vitamin or mineral supplements. We do not routinely recommend supplemental vitamins or minerals beyond 12 months of age. Overuse of these supplements can be harmful to your child’s health. If you feel your child may need a vitamin, mineral or fluoride supplement, please discuss it with us first.
