Yes,

I'm sure all g.p surgeries & other NHS health clinic will be happy to give you those Healthy start vitamin drops as long as they have them in stock.

Not sure if this is relevant or not but I went on BLW session ran by health visitors and they recommend giving multivitamin over 6 months if not getting at least a pint of formula a day. My boy is still BF so he's getting it now but not on 5 ml yet xx

Hi hun, yep.mine is still bf too :-) ive been giving him the 5ml of wellkid in dribs and drabs past few days. I think as long as it gets in there it doesn't matter how or how long it takes! Xx
