# Do I need to give my baby any supplements when weaning them on a plant-based diet?

All children under the age of one, regardless of their diet, should take a supplement of 400 IU of vitamin D from birth, and 100 mg of DHA from 6 months onwards.
For infants weaned on a plant-based diet, add 5 mcg of vitamin B12 liquid drops from 6 months onwards.
If the mother had a vitamin B12 deficiency during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, the paediatrician will prescribe a slightly higher dosage of vitamin B12 for the baby to start with.
