Vitamins for babies

Hey, does anyone have any experience of giving babies vitamins? I am pregnant with my first baby and being a fussy mummy. But I like to be prepared.

Our health visitor gave me vitamin drops for my baby. Not sure if it's for all babies or just breastfed ones though.

If you keep taking vitamin d during pregnancy, you don't need to give any vitamins in the first 6 months. After 6 months you should give them A, C and D drops unless they're having more than 500ml of formula per day.

I started musing about it as I have dyslexia and dispraxia. Both are worse if I don't eat well. I figured there is a good chance my baby may have them too so starting right was a good plan.
