yes ds is breastfed full time and I thought he'd be getting everything from my milk especially if I was taking vitamins myself. But the pead said he recommended supplements regardless of breastfeeding or formula feeding. I kinda like the idea as I'm big on taking my vitamins so it only makes sense that he would have one too when he starts solids or is not having breast milk anymore even if we are feeding him what we eat. I will need to give him iron anyway as we are vegetarian and I want to make sure he's getting enough so I may as well give a multivitamin at the same time. At first I thought he may of only been suggesting this because we are vego but he is very supportive of a vegetarian diet even during pregnancy and he said he suggests this for every baby especially prem babies.
