Vitamins and d3 and iron drops for 10mnt

Question

Asked for Female, 3 Years

Hi doc , I would like to know how important is it to give vitamins , d3 and iron drops for 10 month old baby ?. I have missed giving her drops from 6 months or so . First 6 months i religiously gave her all the drops and stopped iron by about 4 months as doc said it was not necessary and she vomits once she had iron drops . After 6 months i rarely give her vitamins and d3 drops also ( which i think is wrong from my part). will this affect her development and how long shld i give her these drops ?? thanks in advance doc

Well,basically,this is a controversial topic! A lot of paediatricians,including me,believe that if you're breastfeeding and taking supplements for iron and calcium and vit D,no need for them. In any case,at this age,you need to give 2 solid meals and 4 milk feeds including1 top formula feed. You can give ALL vitamins,iron etc in the solid meals,so no need again,for supplements.
