Hi,
This is slightly off topic, but I'm a Type 1 diabetic with a 5 month old son, it appears that on the continent many babies are automatically given vitamin supplements pretty much from birth but here in the UK things seem slightly confused on this; what are people's views on vitamin supplements and vitamin D supplements in particular for a child of that age? Especially with the no show for summer we have this year.
I'm thinking of getting some sort of syrup (sugar free of course) based supplement to give the young fellow; madness and folly or sense?
He is being exclusively breast fed by the way.
Thanks
Dillinger
