Do I need to give my baby fluoride?

The only exception to the vitamin and mineral rule is fluoride. Your baby's teeth and bones do need fluoride. And if it's not available in your water supply, you'll need to ask your doctor to provide fluoride supplements. You can call the public health committee in your local region in order to find out if your water is fluoridated. If it is, provide tap water for your baby. Bottled water is not necessary.
