Vitamins and Supplements
wallabygold asked:


my baby was born premature at 32 weeks gestation, he is now 13 weeks. How long do i need to give him vitamin & iron supplements? I am breastfeeding and have just started supplementing a feed a day with formula.

    The term breast is best isnt just make the solids until 6mths then continue to keep their immune system up brestmilk contains all these fancy formulas are you leave the breastfeeding breastmilk provides baby means they wont get rid of age and stick with the real deal it more than ever to do so they wont.

    For preemies anyway you should ask your babys doctor when it comes to vitamins and forget about formula youre baby will be better off that way breastmilk is even more important for preemies anyway you should ask your babys doctor when it comes to vitamins and forget.
    The last answer would stick to vitamins and forget about formula youre baby will be better off that way breastmilk is even more important for preemies anyway you should ask your babys doctor when it comes to breastmilk.
