Are you breastfeeding your little one? That would be the reason for the vitamin D drops. The one thing that breastmilk is lacking a bit of is Vitamin D. Your baby could get this through exposure to sunlight each day, but we all know how hard this can be, and how risky to let a baby lie in the sun! Hence, the drops. It is common place now to give those drops to all breastfed babies. However, it is NOT needed in formula fed babies as the formula has Vitamin D already included. As for the flouride, I don't know about that. Our water where I live has flouride...but most babies at that age wouldn't be drinking anything other than breastmilk/formula anyway.... If you have concerns, I would talk to your dr. Don't do anything you are not comfortable doing. But I honestly would NOT worry about the vitamin D portion...it at least IS a natural substance, that in the best of us our bodies have a tough time producing.

The worst side effect is the yuck face my daughter makes and that they STAIN. ugh.<br><b>References : </b><br> I hear you! what is worse- not giving vitamins they need or once again exposing them to something that could be contaminated? well I decided to use the vitamins because I figured they probably won’t hurt, they could help, and they are made by a reputable manufacturer so they are probably safe.
