Breastfeeding

how long did you give Vit D drops?

When are you supposed to stop giving Vit D drops?
LO is almost 14 months, but most of her milk is still breast milk  (maybe about 5oz of cow milk a day), but she eats a wide variety of solid foods.

  • We still give them at 16 months since he's only getting around 3-4 oz of cow's milk a day.  Once we run out of my freezer stash & he's getting more cow's milk we'll quit.

  • I would do it indefinitely.  The Vit D drops we use are only 400 U.  Most adults (and probably many children) are Vit D deficient.  I will probably use them until he is old enough for another Vit D supplement.

  • DS is 13 months and we still do a vit. D supplement. 
  • I stopped when I ran out of breast milk and started with formula.

  • I never gave Vitamin D. We live in San Diego so I just made sure he gets plenty of time outdoors!
