In general, there is no need to give vitamin supplement to a healthy, full-term breastfed baby in the first year. In fact, there are studies that have shown that most vitamins, fluoride, iron, water, juice, formula and solid foods are not beneficial to healthy breastfed babies during the first six months, and some can even be harmful. Typically, supplements are given to very premature babies. Here’s an article with a comprehensive list of vitamins and minerals requirement of a baby: http://kellymom.com/nutrition/vitamins/vitamins/ You can also refer to this article for a quick summary of answers to the commonly asked questions on supplements for babies: http://sg.theasianparent.com/are-supplements-for-babies-really-needed/ After your baby has started solids, you can check to see if he/she is getting the adequate amount of nutrients from the food. It is quite unlikely that you will need to give your baby any supplement if he/she is still getting breastfed and having a good mix in her diet. :)
Yes i give my kids multi vitamins. Started ard 2 years old and with gummy type 1st. Slowly then change to tablet type. I gave my kids a good 2 yrs for gummy type cos they r reluctant to change. Always let them try 1st before the actual purchase.

I've been giving multi vitamins to my 3 year old some reason is because he is very fussy and picky with his food.
I stick with food and formula. Proper diet is much better.
