During complementary feeding, babies often take multivitamins, vitamin D, and iron supplements. In Turkey, the Ministry of Health recommends all babies receive 400 IU vitamin D daily from birth, and iron supplementation from 4. month onward. These supports continue when starting complementary foods — iron supplementation typically continues until age 1.
Multivitamins and other supplements should be started only after your pediatrician's evaluation; if your baby isn't getting enough of a vitamin or mineral from foods, your doctor will decide. During complementary feeding, it's important to avoid unnecessary supplements. Always use supplements at the dose and duration your doctor prescribes; never start on your own.
