Most extra vitamins are excreted in the urine, but vitamins A and D are stored in the body. If you’re considering adding a vitamin supplement to your child’s diet, it’s best to talk to your pediatrician first to make sure you’re adding the right one and the right dose. If she doesn’t like the taste, try mixing it with breast milk, formula, juice or foods like cereal or applesauce. You can dispense the vitamins directly into your child’s mouth, toward her cheek. To measure the full dosage, or amount recommended by your pediatrician, place the syringe in the bottle liquid, and draw back the liquid to the dosage line that’s marked on the syringe. Both also come with a dispensing syringe. If you’re introducing solid foods along with breast-feeding and your baby is a picky eater, or if you feel your own diet, and therefore your breast milk, isn’t as nutrient-rich as it can be, ask your pediatrician if this multivitamin can help to balance out any missing nutrients.īoth D-Vi-Sol and Tri-Vi-Sol are liquid vitamin supplements. Tri-Vi-Sol is a multivitamin supplement that not only provides the recommended vitamin D for breast-fed infants, but also vitamins A and D. A 1-milliliter dose of D-Vi-Sol provides the daily 400 international units of vitamin D recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics with no other vitamins. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that even moms who eat a healthy, diverse diet supplement with vitamin D if their baby is exclusively breast-fed or drinking less than 1 liter of formula each day. Doing so ensures that your breast milk is equally nutritious for your child, and in most cases, multivitamin supplements aren’t necessary.

The most important thing you can do as a breast-feeding mom is to eat a healthy, balanced diet. You should consider your baby’s diet, and also what you are eating, when choosing between them. Sometimes your pediatrician may recommend supplementing a breast milk diet with a liquid multivitamin D-Vi-Sol and Tri-Vi-Sol are two that are commonly used.

As a new mom who is breast-feeding, you may wonder whether your baby is getting the nutrition he needs for healthy growth and development.
