UK’s Number 1
The UK’s No.1 Baby Supplement Brand
Carefully balanced supplement for babies & infants
From the makers of Pregnacare, Wellkid Baby and Infant Liquid is ideal for babies and young children from 3 months to 5 years to provide a carefully balanced, comprehensive range of 14 essential vitamins and minerals. Wellkid Baby and Infant Liquid with Swiss Alpine malt has a delicious taste your little one will love.
The formula includes vitamins A, C and D. The UK Department of Health recommends that all children aged three months to five years should be given a supplement that contains these vitamins.
Wellkid Baby and Infant Liquid provides an ideal nutritional safeguard during a time when babies and infants have a high nutrient requirement in relation to body size, to support their rapid physical growth and development of bones, muscles, blood and the brain. Key nutrients include iron, which contributes to normal cognitive development, and 10 mcg vitamin D, which is needed for normal growth and development of bone in children. Vitamin D also contributes to their normal immune system function.
For convenience and to avoid spillages, we recommend that the liquid can be mixed into your baby’s usual milk or water. (See formula page for Directions)
Unless your child is drinking 500 ml (or approx. 1 pint) of infant formula a day, as infant formula has vitamins added to it.
What is cognitive development?
It’s easy to keep an eye on your newborn and observe the changes in weight and size as he or she grows from baby to toddler to young infant and child. However, it’s not so easy to see what’s happening inside the brain, but all the while it is busy developing. Right from your baby’s arrival in the world, he’s looking around and learning at an incredible pace.
Over time, your baby’s brain will develop the skills of perception, thought, memory, language and physical co-ordination and this process by which your baby gradually learns these skills is called cognitive development.

Government surveys have indicated that some infants are not getting enough of certain nutrients such as iron, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin D. Many children old enough to be on solid food are not eating the recommended 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day and so may not be getting all of the vital nutrients that their bodies need for long term health and development. Some foods may have a lower than expected nutritional content and be low in certain micronutrients as a result of several factors including modern farming practices, the lengthy storage of ‘fresh’ food before it is sold in some shops and over cooking which can cause certain nutrients to breakdown. It is important to promote a healthy diet and lifestyle in younger children as the starting point of good health and encourage positive eating and exercise habits for later in life.
From the makers of Pregnacare, Wellkid Baby and Infant Multi-vitamin Liquid has been developed especially for babies and infants to provide a safe and balanced comprehensive range of 14 vitamins, minerals and Swiss Alpine malt as a natural energy source. Food supplements are of course never a substitute for a healthy balanced diet.
If desired, for infants 3 to 4 years, this may be administered directly from the spoon.
It is important to ensure that your child does not take more than the recommended amount. If desired Wellkid Baby and Infant Multi-vitamin Liquid may be given immediately before feeding so any residual liquid is washed off teeth and gums.
