Who is doing vitamin D drops...

Pedi recommended it today. Went to target and looked at the ingredients. It has artificial coloring and flavor added to it. Yuck. Some people say they are outdoors enough so there's enough in their milk. Some women are taking the drops themselves. Some are giving it to the baby. What are you doing?

    I am. We use the 'Carlson Super Daily D for Baby' 400 IU daily. No artificial anything. I was given a sample of another brand and threw it out b/c of all the artificial crap. So sad companies feel they have to put artificial ingredients in baby vitamins!

    They're gross, I bought them and gave them a couple days but we're taking a break now. My BMB has mentioned a different drop online that literally only takes a drop instead of a dropper full. Not sure about those ingredients.

    I hate that about the artificial coloring, too. We have been walking outside every day so I haven't been doing them. Now that it's getting colder and we won't be able to do that as much, I'm going to use one of those medication-dispensing pacifiers for the drops because putting the directly into their mouth and then giving the paci never seems to work out; it's sticky and leaks out of their mouth. :(

    ETA: I live in MN and our pedi said vit D isn't transferred in breastmilk. We give DD a drop a day. MN sun isn't strong enough.

    That's the Carlson D drops the pp mentioned. It's just vit D suspended in coconut oil. It takes one drop a day and the bottle contains enough drops for a year.

    We do the baby Ddrops. One drop, no flavors or colors. You can put it on your nipple or right in LOs mouth and a bottle lasts about a year.

    We used D Drops. It only takes one drop instead of a whole dropper. Much easier, and there is no taste.

    We use Bluebonnet.  Also one drop. I put it on my nipple for each baby.

    we use the D Drops as well.  we were giving the poli vi sol and ewwwwwww they stunk so bad that I couldn't stand giving them to DS. I have to give it to him, he was a trooper and took them but I noticed that his poop was runny and black (like the vitamins) so I was wondering if he was actually digesting them. Sometimes it looked like they went through him without any changes.
