Do you give your breastfed baby vitamin D drops? We just started, L does not seem to be a fan.
-
Yes, we ordered Baby D Drops they are GREAT! All natural no flavor or coloring, one drop on my nipple that is it
I was not a fan of the enfimil ones!
-
I tried them.....to me they tasted awful!
Baby D Drops have no taste! -
I gave it sporadically. She was not a fan. Now that she's older, I mix it into her yogurt. You could also mix it into a bottle of pumped milk.
-
I am going to have to check out the baby d drops!
-
Carlson's vitamin D drops are one drop once a day. Babies never even noticed. I highly recommend them!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: this is what we used as well. One tiny little drop on my breast before nursing.
-
Tri-vi-sol
-
yup, i used to use Baby D drops. i wish i could remember to give it still but i stopped over a year ago!
-
I nursed both and never gave either vitamin D drops.
@Mrs. Jacks: why are vitamin D drops recommended?
-
@chopsuey: there is no Vitamin D in breastmilk so doctors recommend the drops if you are breastfeeding.
@LAZB: my LO didn't like the enfamil ones either. We could sometimes sneak it into the breastmilk in a bottle but after a while(maybe a month) we just stopped giving them to her. Bad mommy I know but no adverse signs to not having it that I can see.
-
@chopsuey: breastfeeding babies, especially in northern latitudes do not get the recommended amount of vitamin D from breast milk (they do get some), but our modern diets are often Vitamin D deficient. When my level was tested, it was less than 20. Now I take 4000 IU/ day.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: wow, 4000 iu seemed like a lot, but then I checked how much I get/day and doesn't seem like such a big number anymore
-
Our daughter actually seems to like them. We're using enfamil divisol.
-
@chopsuey: yeah. It was 1000 times worse when I lived in Seattle.
-
We use tri-vi-sol and baby doesn't mind. Gotta look into the one drop version!
-
Yup. We use the Baby D drops. Super easy. One drop on her paci and she doesn't even notice it.
-
We used D Vi Sol at the recommendation of the doctor at the hospital but with her reflux we had to switch to baby d drops. Her doctor gave us a bunch of samples. It's much easier to give her.
