Baby milk

[Annh17]

So my LG has dropped a bottle she has 3 a day sometimes she gets the recommendation but others she’s just borderline.

Is there any vitamins I can give her so she is getting enough

[MissEd]

There are loads of vitamins just have a look in boots

I think if she is drinking less than 500ml of baby formula you then give her a daily vitamin there is a great selection in boots

Agree with the others, once below 500ml they need a vitamin. Personally I found wellbaby a pain as it’s supposed to go in their milk or water so if they don’t drink it all they aren’t getting the full vitamins 🤷‍♀️ We avoided Adebec as it has peanut oil and we can’t tolerate peanuts so went with Haliborange which is one spoon of 5ml a day and she loves it! Bottle lasts ages too 😊 x

Thank you, is it just called daily vitamin?

She’s now having 3 bottles a day (sometimes 4) but she doesn’t always finish them. The least she’s been having is 580ml but that’s rare. She’s also having 3ozs in her ready brek which counts towards it, doesn’t it? x

The one we have is called baby and toddler multivitamins 😊 You’re correct the the 3oz’s in her ready brek count too regardless if it’s formula or cows milk. Mine doesn’t always meet the recommended 300ml now for her age, she’s never been a massive milk drinker. Mind you when her prescription stops at least we won’t have to pay for lots of expensive alternative milk (they are a lot more expensive than the same quantity of cows milk) so I’m trying to look on the bright side x

I didnt realise cows milk counted too under 1, ive been using formula lol x

[Annh17 in reply to MissEd]

I’ve been using cows milk in her breakfast from 6 months. You just can’t give to them on it’s own till 1 year old x

[MissEd in reply to Annh17]

Ill stick to formula, he is only have 13oz in bottles a day and hasn't put any weight on this month bless him

My twins have been on multivitamins since birth as they were preemies.

One has abidec the other has Dalivit. Abidec is the one the nhs recommends and uses. Dalivit is the alternative - my other boy has this as he had a reaction to the abidec (likely the peanut oil)

Hi, I’m giving my LO the Wellbaby drops; they can be given to babies directly using a syringe xx
