Baby vitamins

Hi mums, my baby is 6 months and on number 2 formula. We did a comparison between number 1 and 2 and noticed the minerals in 2 are higher but the vitamins are lower. Should we then give vitamins on top of his feeding to fill in the gap?

Hi midwives advice that 1 is okay till they are 1yr has it has all the nutrients they need till then. Please double check with them

So your baby should stay on Stage 1 until 1. Formula is already fortified with vitamins your baby requires so baby doesn’t need additional vitamins on top. If you want to add more minerals or nutrients to baby’s diet then do this through food when offering solids.

Stage 2 is just a sale product , it’s just the same but less vitamins as baby will be eating solids and get the vitamins from the food , I always keep on stage 1 until 1 year plus food .
