Nikita Munro,

Some of the vitamins are above the RDA, but in an older infant these doses will probably not be a problem.

Thank you. So it's ok then if I take one per day? Or rather just one every second day? Or better not to take it, to be safe?

Nikita:

Sorry, we can't really help you with this mix of stuff. We simply don't know if they are safe. As for your recommended vitamin, I'd suggest you take your pregnancy vitamin 2-3 times a week. This should provide all you and your infant really needs.

Don't go overboard with supplementing vitamins. The risk in overdosing vitamins is FAR higher than the benefit.
