I've been told that exclusively breastfed babies require vitamin supplements, so I've bought my 10 day old some Abidec drops. But are they really necessary?

Hiya, ive been told from 6 months they do... mainly iron which you can give via their diet anyway. I nearly bought some, like you, very early on. As long as your eating a good and varied diet, wait until 6 months

Thank you. The advice is pretty conflicting. And the Abidec stains everything it touches fluroscent yellow so god knows what its doing to his insides

Look it up on Kellymom website, I'm sure that's got some good advice.
