Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I was reading the recommendations about vitamin A for a 3 months old baby by the Weston Prive website. I must say I disagree with this if it is a fully breastfed baby. Any vitamin supplement, natural or synthetic, can cause allergic reaction or fussiness in a breastfed baby. Mother Nature has designed breastmillk over thousands of years of evolution and made it just perfect for infants in any part of the world. A baby's gut is not ready at that age anyway for anything else than breastmilk. Mother's milk is perfect in any way and interfering with it will always lead to problems. If the mother has a healthy diet, rich in all nutrients, her milk will be just fine. I get worried when I read recommendations like the one above. Formula fed babies are of course short of some nutrients and I cannot comment on that as I have never done it. Ingrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
