Hi
My DD is 14 months. For the first year of her life she was dairy free due to suspected allergy/intolerance (Although this was never looked into properly by Drs due to pandemic).
When she turned 1 we started the dairy ladder with her and soon realised she was absolutely fine with dairy, and took her off the specialised prescribed formula milk and tried her on cows milk. She didn't like the cows milk so we bought Aptamil 3 Toddler Milk Formula and she's been having that fine for the last 2 months.
As it is a formula and contains vitamins, I haven't been giving her any vitamin supplements.
She has 3 x 6oz formula bottles a day so I was assuming that was enough. Tonight though I came across something on the NHS website that said from age 1 a daily 10microgram dose of Vitamin D is required. I'm wondering if it says from age 1 assuming that the 1 year old isn't having formula? I'm now worried if she is not getting enough vitamins from the formula and if I should start giving her these extra vitamin drops? Or will that end up overdosing her on vitamins? There is just too much conflicting info online.
Please can any parents provide some clarity on what to do with a 1 yr old still on formula milk and if these extra vitamin drops are needed?
