Of course I realise there are exceptions to every rule -Susan and one must be vigilant but the contents and side effects of these vitamins ie gassy, 
Fussy, irritable babies is a huge concern. What is the first thing to go in that situation?  The breastfeeding, not the vitamins!  I would love to see if there is a correlation between early weaning and early vitamin supplementation -I wouldn't be surprised a bit if there was.  Do the benefits of these vitamins given under 6 months really outweigh the risks?  Sorry but I am hardpressed to believe they do.
