Forgetting Vitamin D

racheljonah · August 2024

please tell me other moms have forgotten to give their little ones the Vitamin D drops?? I have forgotten so often and it’ll hit me here and there that I have forgotten to give it to him a lot and i am STRESSING. Is he going to be okay? He’s 4 months and so healthy with zero issues so far!

Oh ya. I can never remember lol. I have a 4 month old too. It was the same with my first. He’ll be fine

umm we are supposed to be giving them vitamin D drops?! I have a 3 month old and have never given him that once. No doctor had told me that! What is it for?

Same! I feel terrible but I don’t think it’s the end of the world.

They recommend it for breastfeeding infants because breastmilk is deficient in vitamin d.

Oh ok. Mine is formula fed so that’s probably why I wasn’t informed. Thank you for the response!

One thing that helped me not forget is to add it to the first bottle of the morning. If you are EB, giving the drops will be a challenge. But if you are combo feeding or exclusively bottle, add the drop to the first morning bottle and it becomes part of your routine. Good luck!
