Multivitimin? When do we give one? Starting weaning journey at 5.5 months.

Hi there,

When do we start giving a multi- vit?

As long as baby has balanced diet there is no need for extra vitamins. They will still get most of their intake from their milk

Depends on if baby is bf or formula fed. Recommendation is that bf babies have vitamin d from birth.
Multivitamin containing vitamins A, C and D for all aged between 6 months and 5 years old unless they are on more than 500ml of formula a day as it is fortified. So if you little one is having more than 500ml of formula then don’t worry yet and just start them when they drop below that consistently for a few days.

Thanks so much :)
