Vitamin D

vero2cool · February 2016

I exclusively breastfeed so our doctor said we should give our baby (3 weeks old) a vatimin supplement. He suggested di.vi.sol so that's what I bought. The dosage is so much for my little guy to take in! I dont know how to give it to him without him sounding like he is drowning for minutes! Then he cries this cry I hardly ever hear, that sounds so sad, it breaks my heart

What do you guys do for vitamin d?

We tried the same to start but he wouldn't take the full ml. I found at target one that is only .2ml for a full dose. Super easy and now (8mo) he gets excited every time I pull it out. It's made by Upspring, called Well Baby D. You can order it online from Walgreens or go pick it up at a target. Hope this helps.

I bought concentrated drops for my nipples.

I use the Carlson labs baby D drops, dosage is one drop per day! I just put it in my finger and rub it on baby's tongue. There is also a brand called DDrops. You can find both on Amazon.

Our pediatrician recommended the Carlson drops. I just put one drop on my nipple before he latches.

i know this is taboo, but i just tried to get in the sun a lot, and skipped the supplements.

We use that one. My LO is 8 months now and fine with it but when he was tiny I would only do 1/2 of a dose at a time. There were a lot of days he only got half a dose.

That says for children 2 or older. Your pediatrician recommended this one?

The trivisol stuff is crap filled with artificial coloring and flavoring. Enfamil should be ashamed. We use this: https://www.iherb.com/ChildLife-Organic-Vitamin-D3-Drops-Natural-Berry-Flavor-400-IU-0-338-fl-oz-10-ml/51848?CAWELAID=120224250000002134&gclid=CMPW7Ir3mMsCFU1bhgod6AEKAQ

only one one drop for a full dose

Yep - see here: 400IUs is recommended for all breastfed infants: https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/recommendations/vitamin_d.htm

Here is the infant version, but they are identical:
