Hi All, I had a mother question her Dr's. recommendation for giving 'trivisol' to her 2 week old. After doing a limited search, I could only find comments on it being better to give Vit D. singularly. Does anyone knew where to look to find current recommendations? I had no luck when on the AAP site. The only thing I found is in Ruth Lawrence book (in appendix I of her 6th editon pg 1025): "This subject bears further dicsussion, particularly with respect to the most widely used vitamin supplents ; vit A, vit C, D and E iron and fluoride". She also wondered if breastfeeding mother's need a calcium supplement on top of their prenatal vitamin? Her Dr. has her taking extra. She is a vegetarian. Are these old recommendations? BTW: She said she has never had her vitamin levels tested. Thanks, Melony LLL, IBCLC *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
