Vitamin C drops at 4 months

[Bena1]

My mother-in-law says in her time babies around 4 months were given vitamin C drops every day as breast milk (nor formula for that matter) doesn't 'cover' vit C. I haven't heard this before and just wanted to know what others thought/knew.

My DS is 13 weeks and exclusively breast fed. Do I need to start thinking about introducing vitamin C?

The food standards agency advises vitamin A, C and D for babies and children aged 6 months to 5 years.

is it likely that nature would design a milk for a human baby that doesn't provide all the nutrients the baby needs ? No. If you are EBFing then your son is getting everything he needs from your milk.

FIBILOU that is exactly what I think! How can breastmilk not be complete in every way? Very puzzling if you need to add other vitamins on top bf.

If, however, there is a view that vitamins need to be given, why doesn't any literature commonly handed out mention it?
