Frequently asked questions about vitamins and food supplements

How can I support my toddler’s immune system?
A balanced diet is the best foundation for your toddler’s health. If needed, age-appropriate food supplements can help complement their diet and support the normal functioning of their immune system in everyday life.

Why does my baby need extra vitamin D?
The skin produces vitamin D when exposed to direct sunlight. As babies often do not get enough sunlight, paediatricians recommend giving vitamin D3 drops daily during the first year of life. Vitamin D supports your baby’s normal growth and bone development.

How can vitamin C help my toddler during winter?
Vitamin C supports the normal functioning of your toddler’s immune system. During the colder months, an age-appropriate vitamin supplement can be a useful addition to their diet, especially if they sometimes refuse to eat fresh fruit or vegetables.

What should I consider when choosing vitamins for my toddler?
Look for drops or soft fruit gummies with no added sugar. These age-appropriate options make it easier to give your toddler the correct dose. Taking supplements with a meal can also make the experience more enjoyable for your toddler.

When should I start giving my toddler food supplements?
It’s always best to consult your paediatrician before giving your toddler vitamins or other supplements. They can assess your toddler’s individual needs and recommend suitable supplements for everyday use.
