BFing & arctic cod liver oil?

love.love

anyone use this as a natural alternative to vitamin D drops if you EBF?
if so how much do you administer and how frequently, and by what method?
Our public health nurses recommended using vitamin D drops since I'm EBFing but there seems to be some debate on this, and neither my doctor or LC mentioned it. On 0-6 someone mentioned arctic cod liver oil as a natural alternative, so just curious of any other opinions or experiences...
tia!

Check out what LLL says on this issue.  Unless you are in a high risk category you really shouldn't need to supplement.

ditto hippy. ?we were told to try and supplement in the fall/winter, but that's b/c DH is Hispanic and J has dark skin, so he doesn't make vitamin D as efficiently. ?
