All Hackney children under 4, pregnant women and new mums are entitled to free vitamins.
Good nutrition in pregnancy and early childhood leads to better health but it’s difficult to get all the nutrients and vitamins you need, even if you eat a healthy balanced diet. Health experts recommend Healthy Start vitamins to make sure that you and your children get the important vitamins that you need. Healthy Start vitamins for pregnant women contain the recommended daily dose of folic acid and vitamins C and D and Healthy Start vitamins for children contain vitamins A, C and D.
If your baby’s formula fed they won’t need extra vitamins until they’re drinking less than about a pint of formula milk a day (500ml or about 18 fl oz). This is because vitamins have already been added to formula milk.
Wentworth Children’s Centre is one of many venues that register for and/distribute free vitamins. You can come to the centre any weekday (expect bank holidays and announced closure dates) to register and/or get a new supply of vitamins for you and/or your little ones.
