  For any other mom's out there who were wondering... I was able to find this: 

  https://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/feeding/breastfeed_concerns.html#

  and apparently we should be supplementing with a product similar to this?

  I learn something new every day! Still shocked that no one mentioned this to me before, and apparently it's important/well known?

  Starting at around 2 weeks old we gave Vitamin D as recommended by our pedi.  We use Carlson's Baby D drops, just one drop on your nipple or a passy.

  We had to use vitamin D drops right away because dd was slightly jaundiced.  I do know that they are recommended for all breast fed babies regardless.

  My pedi brought up vit D drops today. He said that EBF need vit D supplement but that a multivitamin is not necessary. He said that are available OTC at any drugstore.

  We use the Carlson Vitamin D drops and that is it. DD does not get any other vitamins. They are not necessary unless there is a health issue.  Vitamin D deficiency seems to be a problem for just about all people these days.
