Maybe vit d drops every other day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vit-d-drops-w-formula#post-1540122 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 14:21:51 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1540122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we were primarily formula fed, he said it wasn't necessary because the formula had all the vitamins they needed, but I think we still used them when it was half and half. I'd just check with your ped next time you're in for an appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vit-d-drops-w-formula#post-1540118 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 14:20:54 +0000 Charm54 1540118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she was on 1/2 and 1/2 I still gave her a drop bc we live in a cold dreary climate so I figured the extra couldn't hurt</p> <p>Now that she is on all formula I don't give her the drops anymore </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vit-d-drops-w-formula#post-1540112 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 14:19:51 +0000 swurlygurl 1540112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ped told me I didn't have to do Vitamin D drops if she was FF - I never noticed it wasn't the recommended daily value. If your baby is going to get any weekly sun exposure (I think I saw just a 15 minute exposure twice a week is enough?) then I wouldn't worry about it.<br /> Or, I guess you could always call the ped's office... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vit-d-drops-w-formula#post-1540093 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 14:13:03 +0000 lavender 1540093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am transitioning my EBF to 1/2 BM and 1/2 Formula (going back to work, low supply, only able to pump 1x a day). I have been given her Vit D drops (per ped), do FF babies get vit d drops also? I read the makeup of her formula and I know there is some Vit d in it but not the daily requirement. </p>
