Should I be giving my baby vitamins?
6 months old, BF but has 5oz of formula before bed. Do I need to give vitamins?
If so what type and where do I get them from?
Sorry FTM and my HV is useless.

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/baby/weaning-and-feeding/vitamins-for-children/ Not just vitamin D at this age, it’s recommended to give A and C too. And 5oz isn’t enough formula to not need them. I use healthy start drops when they’re this little, as it’s 5 tiny drops to get into them, rather than syringe fulls of stuff- and both my boys are horrendous at taking medicine out of syringes so I just don’t need the faff every day 😂
@Chloe did not know this!! 😳 thank you!!

You should be giving bubba vitamin d drops as you're mostly BF - I wouldn't think the one formula bottle would cover it. Other than that there's no requirement for other vitamins!
