Tri Vi Sol

Did you try google-ing it? A lot of entries popped up for me. anyways, I believe my ped suggested it too but I opted not to give it to my breastfed daughter. I ate well and didn't feel she needs this supplement... she is now almost 2 and very tall, bright and healthy!

Hi,

I was also told to give it to my daughter but couldn't find it so I bought Polyvisol. But just a few days ago, I saw it at Walgreens (in Glendale/Burbank - corner of Alameda and San Fernando.

My pediatrician had me start my 2 week old on it because I was 'only breast feeding'. I gave it to my baby 2x, but then stopped because it was upsetting his tummy. He is now 2 months old and very healthy. I might put him back on it in a few weeks just to make sure that he is getting enough vitamins, but I always thought that if you take your prenatal and try to eat right the baby will be fine.

My daughter's pediatrician told me to use Ply-Vi-So! I just bought it at the grocery store. I have never given it to her and she seems fine.
Best wishes,

I gave my daughter tri vi sol upon her doc's recommendation when I was breastfeeding and had no problems. It gave me piece of mind that she was getting the nutritrients she needed since I'm not very good about eating all my veggies. When she was about 1.5 we switched to poly vi sol. She's a picky eater, so this helps. We spike her milk with it in the morning- she has no idea it's in there. Otherwise it smells nasty straight.

My doctor also suggested it. He told me that breast milk does not contain enough vitamin d and that is a very important vitamin for babies. It is to also prepare them for whole milk. I gave it to my son. I just put the vitamins in and shook it up and he never knew the difference. So in all he had no problems with it. Hope this was helpful!!

My doc had recommended the same thing for our exclusively bfing baby, who really likes the taste of it a lot! If there's a Babies R Us near you, they usually carry it for about $8.49.

You can find it at CVS, Rite-Aid or most supermarkets. They usually carry it in the vitamin secetion next to the chewable ones for older kids.

I'm not sure if anyone has responded to you. This is a multivitamin in liquid form. You just put it in with the formula, water, juice, etc. I gave it to my newborn (who was a preemie) until he hit about 10 pounds. The baby doesn't even taste it...or mine didn't. You can find it in the pharmacy section at your local supermarket.

If I remember correctly (it's been a while) TriViSol are liquid vitamins. I used to buy them at Target. I assume they are in any other pharmacy or grocery store too. Just a note; I put them in their bottles. My son drank it with no problems (he'd eat anything). My daughter knew everytime I did it and she wouldn't drink her milk if the vitamins were in there. She has been a somewhat picky eater. So good luck.

Both of my daughters were put on tri-vi-sol vitamins. They were both breasfed babies as well. I just asked my pharmacy (Target) and they ordered it for me. It is over the counter but you have to request it from your pharmacy. It is just a liquid vitamin that had no side affects on my daughters. It is not too expensive and both my girls liked it.
I hope this helps a little.

My baby girl's doctor prescribed it to us also. My baby loves it! She gets all excited when I give it to her as "dessert" after breakfast. :) She also likes to kind of chew on the rubbery tip for her teeth.

It's a multi-vitamine for infants. I found it at CVS near the pharmacy... it's an Enfamil brand product. You'll note they sell polyvisol and trivisol. They are so commonly prescribed you can find them almost everywhere; just ask the pharmacist. Good luck!

My doctor also recommended that I give my daughter Tri Vi Sol. It is recommended for exclusively breastfed babies because they tend to lack the amount of vitamin D needed. I did research on it and also asked other pediatricians and mom friends who all said that it is a good idea. If you do give it be careful, it stains anything it touches!!! I give it to my daughter when she is in the bathtub.

It's actually Poly Vi Sol and is a dark brown liquid milti-vitamin. The reason for your docs recommendation is primarily for the vitamin D. My doctor recommended the same stuff for our first born who is now almost two. It is available in regular or iron fortified. I bought the regular and only used it a few times. I thought it made her really gassy. Also in very small doses everyone can get vitamin D from sunshine. So if you are worried, maybe just take her in the sun for a few minutes a day. Other than that if you have a very well balanced diet yourself, your baby should be fine. Good luck.

Hi there,
My pediatrician recommended this for our baby, too. It is just a multi-vitamin supplement that consists of vitamin a,c and d. It is hard to find, I had to go to 3 pharmacies before I found it. I got it at Walgreen's. It was not in the infant isle. instead, it was in the isle with all the vitamins, supplements, etc. It is over the counter, and is made by Enfamil. If you don't see it, ask the pharmacist to point you in the right direction, or they can order it for you. Good luck:)

Have purchased poly vi sol but not tri. Got it at the pharmacy in the children's area. near other vitamins

Tri vi Sol is a liquid multi vitamin frequently recommended by doctors for infants and toddlers. Ask at your drug store or pharmacy. If they don't have it they should be able to get it for you.
