Hi

Any advice on which multivitamin yo get for newborn who is being breastfed !

I’m lost amongst all these products . I’m looking for one that gives the NHS recommenced amount of Vitamin D plus a general combination of the usual vitamins .

Any advice much appreciated

vit d3 is the only one you need. possibly vit k if baby didn't have this at birth.

ABIDEC drops can be given from newborn. Your health visitor should be able to advise too.

vit d3 is measured in i.u. or microgram

newborns should receive 400 i.u. which is 10 microgram.

In my area we get given the vitamin D drops for the baby and tablets for mums by the health visitor

I bought Baby D Drops from Boots. (If I'm honest though I didn't remember to use them.)
