Vitamin D

pedi suggested vitamin D for lo since we are bf. At first lo was fine but over the last 3 or 4 weeks he started getting really fussy and stopped sleeping as well. We stopped the vitamin D for about a week and he seemed much happier and sleeping better. Pedi said he needs to be on it to avoid getting rickets. As soon as we started giving it to him again the fussiness and lack of sleep started again. I am so confused as what to do. Has anyone else seen any fussiness and lack of sleep while giving lo vitamin D? We are using di-v-sol by enfamil.

    It might be his body is adjusting to it, but that doesn't mean to stop giving it to him. Listen to what your pedi told you, HE is the doctor, HE has the medical degree. If anything, lack of sleep can mean a deficiency of vitamin D. Also, make sure you're giving your LO the correct dosage. Even a bit too much can cause side effects such as fussiness.

    You could try another brand of vitamin d drops. We've been doing baby d drops. I really like that the only other ingredient is coconut oil and just put one drop on your nipple a day.

    @emmylu30‌ I will look into those thanks! The ones we are using have a caramel flavor and color so maybe that's what's upsetting him? I think I'm gonna look at some with no additives and see if that helps.
