V had her 9 month today and I asked the pedi about tooth staining from vitamins. She said that vitamins with iron can stain the teeth grey but it is 100% removable by a dentist if need be. I think you already knew this, but it was good to hear it from another doctor.

My office does a routine CBC for babies between 9 and 12 months so I'm going to see what her levels are and potentially stop the multi-vitamin anyway. But, I got nervous after seeing what happened to you guys.

Are you still giving her the vitamin or did you stop? What are you going to do about the staining? Also, what toothbrush/toothpaste did you end up getting?

Yay! Thanks! We haven't seen the dentist yet.

We got some babyganics strawberry stuff that's been okay so far. We stopped giving the vitamin and we are doing her 1 year bloodwork early to see if she's deficient.

What were baby V's stats?

I'll have to check out the babyganics. I want an adorable teeny toothbrush too!

V's stats were 27" and 16 lb 13 oz. That's up 4 oz from last week! I think it's because our appointment was later in the day. The doctor was okay with her weight since it's still in the 30th%ile even though she's gaining slowly. So that's good! We're just going to keep an eye on it.
