I know Mrs. Bee mentioned/recommended Carlson Vitamin D drops for breastfeeding but Amazon doesn't sell them anymore! What (other) brands do moms out there use?

I used the enfamil vitamin D drops. Not sure how different the brands are but LO seemed to take it well (liked the taste).

Amazon still sells the Carlsons they just say for kids instead of babies. They weren't allowed to market it to babies for some reason. Make sure to get the 400 IU and not the 4000 IU

We do. It's called d-vi-sol and it's pretty common in stores.

My local organic vitamin store stopped carrying Carlson too, but they had the same thing by Bluebonnet, so that's what we got about 7 months ago. But just recently I saw the Carlson brand at Whole Foods, so if you live near one, try there. I like that both these brands have no fillers. Bluebonnet also has a pretty pleasant, natural taste & smell.

My pediatrician told us not to worry about them, but we are also in a very warm and sunny climate (AZ), so we are out in the sun pretty much every day.

I also use the Blubonnet brand from whole foods. I prefer it to the D-vi-sol because it has no sweetener or food coloring, and the dose is only one drop.

We used them only in the winter months when we weren't outside as much. We used a generic brand from the pharmacy. I can't remember the brand.

Nope! Pediatrician always tells me to but eh. Lo doesn't like it. She's in the 95th % for height and my mom never gave me d drops so I'm sure she'll be fine without.

We also use the enfamil d-vi-sol. LO likes them and we have gotten them at target and amazon. Hope that helps!
