Question

Can my baby take vitamins?

Answer

Hello! I’m not sure about the experts, but my daughter has never taken any vitamins since birth. I heard someone say that babies should take some vitamins, like fish liver oil, vitamin D, A, B2, and C. It’s all a bit confusing to me. I want to ask, what should I give my baby? And if I do give them vitamins, how much should they take per day? Thank you!!!

Answer

I’m not sure about the child’s current physical growth and development, as well as their daily diet and lifestyle. Do they have any bad habits like picky eating? You don’t need to deliberately give your baby vitamin supplements or similar things. For a two and a half month-old baby, just giving them some juice or plain water is fine. Everything you give them should be introduced gradually. However, they are currently taking one fish liver oil capsule every day, as recommended by the doctor, to promote calcium absorption.
