baby supplements- what do you give?

[martinakrc]

Hello there,
my 12 months old just started nursery and i am looking to boost what ever i can in him ( health, education, language, motor skills....you name it). Just finished formula and nicely weened on cows milk. Has a good diet, started to refuse water during the day, has 420 ml of milk /24 h only...

He has been on fish oil ( dha+ D3) sice 6  months old and now i added multivitamins and probiotics powder ( 7 strains of bifi+acido) to boost his immune system as i read that i can reduce the rate of colds and GI upsetts...nursery!!! I try to give choline from feeding him soups of broccoli and califlower.

I want to also boost his brain and some forums suggest intake of dha,uridine and choline...but for adults. I was windering what else can i give him to maxize his potential? 

Thank you ladies, Martina

Hi Martina,

You may find this blog helpful. It contains a lot of links explaining benefits of different supplements for kids.

I'm researching this topic myself right now. I give my son only probiotics right now. I have been using several supplements for myself for years, so I'm a true believer in supplementation. I'm just like you, still unsure what to give to a small child. I tried to give my son lecithin to help his speech, and I believe it helped, although I did not stick with it, as he did not like the taste of it. I will probably start again as he is still not talking much.

Good luck!
