I have a 13 month old dd. I nurse her three times a day. I make all her baby food using the Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron. I would like to give a multi-vitamin. Any thoughts? Any new research out there? Also, multi-vitamin suggestions and/or what NOT to use as a multi-vitamin. Your thoughts would be so helpful.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/winner.jpg" style="border:0px solid;" title="BFSymbol"><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/goorganic.jpg" style="border:0px solid;" title="go organic">: <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/saynovax.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="no vax">

You really want my opinion?<br><br>
I don't believe in supplementing EXCEPT with natural food type things like Cod Liver Oil, probiotics, and the likes.<br><br>
Multivitamins could create and imbalance, since we don't really know all about them and exactly what we need at what stage and age.<br><br>
Money spent on healthy, organic food is wiser IMO. OOPS, I just saw that you already do that.<br><br>
I see you are not vaccinating, that was actually my # 1 suggestion for a healthy life. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/thumb.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="thumbs up"><br><br>
The only one left in my bag is - avoid abx at all costs (and the ped LOL).

Thank you so much for your advice. I will look into supplementing with other things that you mentioned.<br><br>
NO WAY will I ever vax my children. Getting my husband on board with that is difficult.<br><br>
I have been through a couple of peds and am never satisfied. We have to be our children's health advocates and not rely on them for correct treatments.<br><br>
I assume you feel the same way about multi-vitamins and adults (you)?
