It’s important to maintain a low Osmolality rating when adding iron therapy or a multivitamin with iron for an infant, especially so with premature infants for risk of possibly causing electrolyte disturbances leading to dehydration. *
“Human milk is nutritionally better than formula milk for preterm infants. However, unfortified human milk may fail to meet the theoretical requirements of very low birth weight (VLBW). Human milk fortifier (HMF) increases the nutritional content of human milk. However, the important factor of concern in feeding VLBW is the osmolality, the higher the osmolality, the greater the risk of necrotizing entero colitis (NEC). Therefore, high osmolality in fortified human milk should be considered for this condition.” (1)
“Routine warming of breast milk with glucose polymer-containing additives, or the addition of lactase enzyme to lactose-containing feedings, can increase osmolality to levels that exceed current guidelines for premature infant feedings.” (2)

I’m sure this is a great vitamin but my kid runs for life away from me when I try to give it to him. He refuses to take it and I actually tasted it myself and it’s bad!
I have been buying these for a while now and for the first time last week I received a bottle with a broken security seal. I didn’t feel comfortable using it although the contents seemed fine.
My twin boys actually don’t fight me on taking it! They seem to really like it which is incredible!
We tried many multivitamins before we found one our baby actually took willingly! My own complaint is the dropper applicator is hard to work with. I wish it had a push syringe type. But overall it’s made giving her vitamins so much easier!
Messed up and ordered the wrong stuff! They helped me right out and got me situated. My baby loves the vitamins and they are good quality
Our 3 year old son likes this vitamin however it doesn't have vitamin C. We're looking for a more complete multi vitamin for him that he won't spit out. We haven't found one yet.
she says it tastes really good and gives her energy
My 6 month old would refuse her old vitamins, wouldn’t take them in anything we tried. She loves NovaFerrum, she takes it in a medicine paci and would take more if I let her! We are so happy we found this!
My toddler loves taking her multi with iron!
We have been using this product for a long time now. We're raising our kid as a vegetarian and making sure he gets enough of the nutrients in his diet that are harder with plant based food is a high priority. NovaFerrum was recommended by his pediatrician when he was an infant (now almost 5) and we've always been happy with it. Our kid happily takes the multi-vitamin with iron every morning because it tastes nice enough. And every time we've gotten him tested for deficiencies he has had plenty of iron, vitamin B, and vitamin D. As for working with the company, ordering and delivery is always easy and fast.
My experience so far with novaferrum is outstanding super fast delivery very easy to order
This vitamin was recommended by my daughter’s pediatrician because she was low in iron. I was a bit skeptical because my daughter had rejected almost every supplement offered to her. She loves this one! I’m so grateful for a supplement that is not a battle or a mess.
My 2 year old looks forward to taking her vitamins everyday. Very pleased, thank you.
Give me some time to use it I don’t know yet
Easy to give and quick. My kid cooperates thank goodness.
My experience using this product was amazing, best product, best price, on time delivery, I will definitely buy it again in next couple days for my son
