Anyone not giving Vitamin D?

I take DD to my family doctor, and they never mentioned anything about Vitamin D drops. I'm planning on asking about it at her 2 month appointment next week, but is anyone else not giving them?

Re: Anyone not giving Vitamin D?

  • Because we supplement with formula, our doctor told us to wait on the drops until she is nine months.

    She is getting vitamin D from the formula too.

  • Our old pedi (we moved during this pregnancy) never mentioned it for DD1.  Our new pedi did, but I'm not giving them because I take a vitamin D supplement.  We also try to get outside in the sun when we can.

  • My family doc has never mentioned it with any of my kids, so we have never done it.  We try to get enough sunshine and if we aren't, I up my Vitamin D, which goes through my BM to the baby.
        
  • No one mentioned this. I may ask at 2 month appointment. 

    We are so thankful that our second daughter, Lillian Elizabeth "Lily", was born healthy and happy on February 11, 2013.  We love her to pieces.  

    We lost our first daughter, Hannah Grace on May 4, 2011.  She was buried on May 14 during a beautiful service at my home church. We are grateful that if she could not be here with us, that she is healed and whole with the Lord. We look forward to the day when we will get to meet her. We love her so much.

  • My understanding was vitamin d is NOT transferred through breast milk that's why it's suggested to give.
