Indication

Multivitamin supplementation for infants and children.

Enfamil Poly-Vi-Sol Liquid Multivitamin Supplement is recommended for infants around 4–6 months of age who are transitioning to solid foods.

• Rationale and Special Characteristics

• Enfamil Poly-Vi-Sol Liquid Multivitamin Supplement has 9 important vitamins in a convenient daily dose. It is an excellent supplement for a child when transitioning to solid foods, during growth spurts and for the picky eater. Enfamil Poly-Vi-Sol Liquid Multivitamin Supplement (without iron) is recommended for children who have sufficient iron in their diet or the possibility of too much.
  The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends 400 IU of supplemental vitamin D per day beginning in the first days of life for all breastfed and partially breastfed infants who do not receive at least 1 L of infant formula per day1.
  Enfamil Poly-Vi-Sol Liquid Multivitamin Supplement is does not contain ingredients derived from the most common food allergies: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy or wheat.
  Refrigeration is not required.

• Nutrients

• Osmolality

• When added to 2 fl oz of infant formula or breast milk, 1 mL of Enfamil® Poly-Vi-Sol® increases the osmolality by +160 mOsmol /kg water2. If the resulting osmolality is higher than desired for a particular baby, an option is to add 0.5 mL of the supplement to the feeding twice per day.

• Product Form

• Enfamil Poly-Vi-Sol Liquid Multivitamin Supplement is available as drops in 50 mL bottles.
