Young children may not get enough vitamin A and D even if they’re eating well. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, you may not get enough vitamin C, vitamin D or folic acid.
Through the Healthy Start scheme you can get the vitamin tablets while you are pregnant and up to your baby’s first birthday. They contain:
- Folic acid
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin D
Children can take vitamin drops if they:
- Are less than 4 years old
- Have less than 500ml (about one pint) of infant formula a day, as formula already has vitamins added to it
Please see the NHS Getting Vitamins webpage for more information or visit the Public Health Buckinghamshire website.
