Which Vitamin C - Infant
I want to supplement my 5 month old DS (unfortunately FF) with Vit C - can buy either Maxi Baby (calcium ascorbate) or Child Life (ascorbic acid) for him to add to his bottle at 100 mg twice daily.

Which would be better for him in terms of both effectiveness and most gentle on stomach? Or do I need to find SA? If so, which brand makes an SA Vit C for babies?

TIA!

I would put acerola powder in a daily bottle. If sick, then I would do all I could to find sodium ascorbate. I like NOW brand. iherb.com sells it. It doesn't have to be anything special for babies.

So can I put the SA powder in the bottle then too? Do you think Whole Foods will have it? I plan to be there tomorrow anyway... Thanks!

5 month old is still congested so definitely will try to get the SA - and then give twice a day?
