A member asked:
Should we give any nutrition supplements to our infant? we are vegetarian and currently giving him vitamin d3 and planning to start give him iron supplement after 4 month age. is this supplement alright? for how long should we continue the supplement

Need more info: Are you giving him milk from his mother or another mammal? If you are using vegetable source "milk" you need to give him vitamin B12 supplement. You should have him evaluated by a pediatrician. Well-baby visits are a good program. You should be taking B12 and D3 as well. Wish you and your family good health!
