Vitamin syrups for 1-year-old babies?

Vitamin syrup is usually not needed for 1-year-olds without a specific deficiency or special circumstance. A healthy, well-fed baby gets needed vitamins and minerals from food.
Pediatricians generally recommend only vitamin D — Turkey's Ministry of Health advises vitamin D for all babies through the first year, and sometimes beyond. Multivitamin syrups should only be used if blood tests show a deficiency or in special situations (very picky eating, chronic illness), and only with a doctor's prescription.
Over-the-counter vitamin syrups can be unnecessary and may dull your baby's appetite. The safest approach is to have your pediatrician or nutritionist review your baby's diet, then follow their advice if supplementation is truly needed.
