Hello
My 3 week old DD is fully BF, and will be with any luck until 6 months. The HV who came last week gave me some Abidec multi vit drops for her and said I should supplement her diet with these for the first few years of her life. Apparently, I should have been giving DD1 (aged 2) the drops as well since birth. I didn't know about them in the past, and BF DD1 exclusively until 7 months when I started solids. DD1 is not BF any more, BTW.
I am less concerned about this for DD1 as she has a good balanced diet but do I need to give them to DD2? I eat well (and copiously ) and I assumed my BM gave everything she needs. If this is not the case, should I start with the drops? The HV seemed adamant but I wondered if anyone on here had any experience of this.
Many thanks
