Baby Multi
How does this formula differ from Toddler? For what ages is this formula intended?
SmartyPants Baby Multi & DHA is pediatrician-designed and formulated for children ages 6 to 24 months old to help fill the nutritional gaps that can develop as your child transitions from breastfeeding and formula to eating solid foods. It's vegetarian and comes in an easy-to-use liquid form that can be mixed into your baby’s favorite food or formula.
This is different from our Toddler Formula and Organic Toddler Formula multivitamin supplements which are formulated for children ages 2 - 3 and come in a gummy format.
As a result, our Baby Multi and DHA includes a few different nutrients than what you'll find in our Toddler Formulas. For instance, we include omega-3 DHA from algal oil to support brain health and deliver a high-quality source of vegetarian-friendly essential fatty acids.*
This differs from our Toddler Formula which includes omega-3 EPA and DHA from fish oil and our Organic Toddler Formula which is also vegetarian and includes omega-3 ALA from flaxseed oil.
We carefully-select each nutrient to support overall good health for each product’s intended demographic. Along with that, we include nutrients that can be the hardest to get from diet alone. Parents get more of the nutrients they want in - an easy and delicious format that kids love.
How do I administer this formula? What time of the day do I give this formula? I am still breastfeeding - will this interfere with this formula?
You know how they say, timing is everything. Well, that doesn't apply to this supplement. Yay!
Our pediatrician-designed Baby Multi & DHA is formulated to complement breastfeeding and usual nutrition practices at this age.
We recommend picking a time that's convenient for you and your baby whether it's before breastfeeding, after a nap or anytime during the day that works for you.
Here are the directions for use.
Step 1: Shake well as some separation with the formula is normal.
Step 2: Use only the syringe provided and insert it into the bottle.
Step 3: Turn bottle over and extract 1mL of liquid. Don't worry about spillage, our bottle stopper is mess free.
Step 4: Add 1mL into your baby's favorite food, liquid of formula.
Step 5: Wash and dry syringe and refrigerate the bottle after opening.
Are there Pediatricians or Doctors behind this formulation? Are there clinical studies?
Yes. SmartyPants Baby Multi & DHA is pediatrician-designed and made with safe and effective nutrients for children ages 6 - 24 months old to promote healthy development.*
We work with our Scientific Advisory Board, some of the top minds in nutrition and preventative health, to develop all of our formulas.
The ingredients we include and our health claims are backed by extensive research and clinical studies such as lutein and omega-3 DHA which both support brain health and development.*
To ensure that what you read on our labels is exactly what you get in the bottle, all SmartyPants supplements are third-party lab tested for purity, potency and safety.
What if I gave my baby more than the recommended dosage? What if my other child just consumed a whole bottle of gummies?
Because our supplements taste really good and kids of all ages (us too) might eat more than the recommended serving size, we’ve thoroughly researched upper limit tolerances for each of our ingredients with our Scientific Advisory Board.
As a result, we can assure you that the ingredients and amounts in our SmartyPants formulas are safe, even if you or one of your family members consumes more than the recommended serving size.
It's important to note, that this is not always the case with every ingredient in every supplement, like iron. We intentionally chose not to include iron in our gummy formulas just in case someone eats a few more gummies than the recommended serving.

How do I store this formula? Does it need to be refrigerated?
Yes. This supplement needs to be refrigerated after opening and used within 90 days.

We thought you’d never ask. With this formula we were on a mission to create a multifunctional supplement for babies that could deliver key premium nutrients to support healthy growth and development - all in one an easy-to-use format.

In addition to this, SmartyPants Baby Multi & DHA is certified vegetarian and made without any synthetic colors, artificial flavors or sweeteners. It’s gluten-free, sugar-free and free of milk, eggs, soy, wheat, fish, shellfish, peanuts and tree nuts.
Our supplement is third-party lab tested to ensure the purity, potency and safety of our ingredients. It also earned the Clean Label Project’s Purity Award, the highest overall rating for product purity and value.

Is your Baby Multi & DHA clean label certified? Has this been tested for heavy metals? What is testing process?
Baby Multi & DHA is a recipient of the Clean Label Project's Purity Award, the highest rating for product purity and value.
We third-party lab test every SmartyPants product for purity, potency and safety, and you can access those results on our website. Just use the number on the bottom of your bottle to look up your supplement's Certificate of Compliance here.
Is your Baby Multi & DHA eco friendly? How are they manufactured and tested?
From the ingredient selection process to how we manufacture our products, we have stringent testing methods in places to ensure the safety, quality and purity of our products.
With our Baby Multi & DHA the raw materials (ingredients) are tested by the manufacturer and must pass strict Quality Control (QC) testing. From there, the raw materials are then mixed to make the bulk liquid, with a series of in-process checks and testing procedures along the way.
Then, the liquid is poured into our mess-free bottles and sent for additional third-party QC testing to verify our label claims and that every batch meets stringent quality specifications for microbiological, heavy metals, gluten, residual solvents and pesticides.
We publish those results as Certificates of Compliance (CoCs). You can use the batch number on the bottom of your bottle to look up those results here (link to COC page). So you can always be sure that what’s in the bottle is exactly what’s on the label.
But you don’t have to take our word for it. In addition to our CoCs, this supplement earned the Clean Label Project’s Purity Award, the highest overall rating for product purity and value.
Does this supplement include a syringe? How do I use it?
Yes. Our Baby Multi & DHA includes an easy-to-use syringe made from BPA-free plastic. Please wash and dry it before each use, and remember to refrigerate your bottle of Baby Multi & DHA after opening.
Here are the directions:
Step 1: Shake your bottle of liquid supplement well as some separation with the formula is normal.
Step 2: Use only the syringe provided, and insert it into the bottle.
Step 3: Turn bottle over and extract 1mL of liquid. Don't worry about spillage, our bottle stopper is mess free.
Step 4: Add 1mL into your baby's favorite food, liquid of formula.

Is Monk Fruit the same as Lohan fruit?
Yes. There's no difference between Lo Han Fruit and Monk Fruit—two different names for the same fruit! We use Monk Fruit extract as a natural sweetener in our Baby Multi & DHA.
Why doesn't your formula contain iron or calcium?
That's a great question, and we appreciate that you're taking note of our ingredient choices. With our pediatrician-designed Baby Multi & DHA formula, we focused on nutrients that can be the hardest to get from diet alone to help fill the nutritional gaps that can occur as children transition from breastfeeding and formula to eating solid foods.
After researching the latest dietary patterns and getting recommendations from our Scientific Advisory Board, we decided not to include calcium and iron because these nutrients are common in many fortified baby foods. Instead, we decided to include omega-3 DHA because it's much harder to obtain from diet alone, and it's an important nutrient for brain health and to support healthy growth and development.*
