Hi, Thank you for asking question on health care magic. 6 months age is not the right time for starting solids. You may start milk cereal mixture in addition to formula milk Most of the formulas and milk cereal mixtures are fortified with vitamins and minerals. Extra multivitamin drops are not necessary. Hope this answer will serve your purpose Please feel free to ask any more queries if required Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD;DCH Associate professor of pediatrics
