A Quick Look At The Best Vitamins For Kids
Here’s our process.
Vitamin Supplements
Babies who are having more than 500ml (about a pint) of infant formula a day should not be given vitamin supplements. This is because formula is fortified with vitamins A, C and D and other nutrients.
Where You Can Get Baby Vitamin Drops
Talk to a pharmacist about which supplement would be most suitable for your child. Keep to the dose recommended on the label, and be careful not to give your child 2 supplements at the same time. But it’s difficult to get enough vitamin D from food alone.
But it’s important to keep your child’s skin safe in the sun. Remember to cover up or protect their skin before it turns red or burns. This is whether or not you’re taking a supplement containing vitamin D yourself.
Children aged 1 to 4 years old should be given a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D.
Vitamin A Vitamin A is important for babies and young children, and some may not be getting enough. It’s needed for a healthy immune system, can help their vision in dim light, and keeps skin healthy. Good sources of vitamin A include: dairy products
fortified fat spreads
carrots, sweet potatoes, swede and mangoes
dark green vegetables, such as spinach, cabbage and broccoli
Vitamin C Vitamin C is important for your child’s general health and immune system.
It can also help their body absorb iron. Good sources of vitamin C include: oranges
kiwi fruit
strawberries
broccoli
tomatoes
peppers.
