You should only give: him the correct amount for his age and weight per day as directed by his pediatrician. There is a potential for toxicity. Also, if it is the formula with supplemental iron, you can run into problems with his stomach, constipation, diarrhea, tummy ache.

Call Poison Control: Gave son "3 or 2 doses of pediavit select". Your child's age is unknown, no other information given. Pediavit is a multi-vitamin. If your vitamin contains iron, overdose can be serious or fatal in children. If your country has a poison control center, call now. In the United States, the Poison Control number is: 1-800-222-1222. If you cannot reach poison control, see a doctor immediately.
