Both of my girls have always drank less than the 'recommended' 150 mls/kg of body weight per day. DD1 is 3 yrs and 12kg and DD2 is 8 months and just 7 kgs.

Both of them are happy, sleep well, have bundles of energy and are not either skinny or fat by any means!!

If your bub is happy and contented, I would keep doing what you are.

Hiya I wouldnt give vitamins or any kind of supplement etc to bubs if I were you, unless its recomended by profesionals. Bubs needs the "real things", food, milks if you know what I mean :)

Like Schmell said, if bub is happy and contented I wouldnt worry about it.

Kind regards

Best to seek the advice of a child health professional before giving babies anything.

They will check weight and height and diet and then advise the best remedy.
