A member asked:
If i supplement breast milk with formula at 9 mo, does my baby need vitamins?

No: Vitamin d is perhaps the only supplement a 9 mo old might need as we have learned that most people are really vitamin d deficient. If your child is eating well (solids) and is on breast milk and formula, then other vitamins really are not necessary.

Formula supplements: Since breast milk levels of a, d, & c vitamins are lower than a baby's daily requirements, daily supplements of the same vitamins are helpful. How much formula your baby receives per day will dictate whether you may continue with the vitamin supplements or not, .
