Not yet: Generally starting at the age of 6 months you can use supplemental Fluoride drops, if the public water is unfluoridated, but speak to your pediatrician for approval and recommended dosage.

If prescribed by ped: Only if it is prescribed by the pediatrician as it is available in drops form by prescription only in us.And you do not give supplement multi vitamins and Fluoride drops if needed until the baby is 4to6 months old.Most cities in us have added Fluoride in the water supply as well only exception is vitamin d to be given after birth if breast fed.
