what about fluoride drops?
Okay so Im gathering that the Fluoride is not good for babies other
than topical applications. Does anyone use any type of vitamin drop for infants 6 months and up such as Poly-Vi-Sol? What are the feelings on vitamins in general?? Your pediatrician can prescribe the exact safe dose for your child in a prescription form, usually drops. Since it is a long-term deal, they can write the 90-day prescriptions for mail-in pharmacies as well. The fluoride poisoning can come into play when small babies swallow fluoridated toothpaste. Gerber offers nonfluoridated baby toothpaste if you need some. I don't feel a baby needs vitamin drops unless doc has determined there is a vitamin deficiency of some sort. Babies still consuming formula or breast milk get all of their vitamins that way. Another potential problem to consider is your child receiving too much by way of them possibly consuming fluoridated water at a daycare or at school on a regular basis. If your child does so, they may not recommend the drops or tablets at all. |

Our kids are 6 and 8, and we have never *consistently* given them any kind of vitamins every day, either as infants, or later. However, we do a pretty good job of making well balanced meals, and avoid processed fast food almost completely. We do give them a powdered multi-vitamin that can be mixed into a drink that they like. I think it depends a lot on both your and the kids eating habits, and also whether you live in an extreme northern (or southern?) climate where they do not get much sun (vitamin D). Larry |
