Title: Vitamin antioxidant supplements for Infants
Post by: momofShreyas on January 26, 2009, 03:06:14 PM

My baby is 3 1/2  months old, has already been transfused twice. I am giving him polyvisol 1 ml every day. Other than that how can I give him the antioxidants and vitamins that he needs.

Thanks
Meena

Hi Meena,

Infants vitamins are usually available in various brands,select a multivitamin which does not contain any iron,and if you are nursing him,then taking a good multivitamin yourself would be a good idea,i don't know if kids that young would need any antioxidants,i think Andy will be able to advise you on that.

Take care,

Zaini.
