For those who do Vit D Drops

So after the Vit D discussion last week, I am about to order some from Amazon. Seeing as we live in MI, we all need them. So I was thinking of buying the Carlson 1000iu per drop.  Planning on putting them in the drinks at dinner. In the summer my DH will not need them as he is outside all day, but I only want to buy the one bottle for the family. Seems silly to buy a kids dropper and one for the adults. Do you think it is too much to give one drop to DD? I really don't see her getting much Vit D at all except for her 4 oz of milk every morning.

    ask your pedi on what they think.

    Breastfeed I was recommended the lower dose. I don't see why if they are getting some in their regular milk why they would need a higher dose of vitamind.

    ok, I just bought the kids dose and figured I would give her that and give myself a few drops since I need a higher dose.

    It shouldn't be too much. My pedi recommended one drop of a higher IU starting at birth. That being said, I would check in with your DR next time. My bottle has a warning for pregnant and/or breastfeeding moms as well as for children.
