LO's pediatrician said to start giving vitamin D supplements every day now that she's 5 weeks. I picked up Enfamil drops, but they're artificially flavored, and seem all-around yucky. Does anyone especially like a different drop?

Carlsons 400 iu
They used to say for babies but I think they only say for kids now, just make sure it's the lower dose per drop of 400 than a bigger dose. It's only a small drop you can either put on your nipple when they nurse or in a bottle or on some food since it's just a small drop and has no taste. -
Sunshine is free and tasteless!

We get lots of sunshine!! I generally have the blinds open during the day & DD is in just a dipe so she gets plenty.
I believe it's just like 30 min a week that baby needs to make sufficient Vit D.

@Minnie_Girl: Yup we def do that too! early morning and late afternoon walks so she doesn't get too much

@runsyellowlites: With the windows open it might work but glass will block the rays so it doesn't work to get vitamin D if the windows are closed. -
carlsons. it can be hard to find now that amazon doesn't carry it, but i found it at a local health food store.

@Mrs. Bee: It's still on Amazon, both baby and kids kind.
The kids kind is the same as the baby kind. A lady at a healthfood store was telling us there was some problem with Carlsons saying it was for baby's so they aren't making it with a baby label anymore (don't know if this is true), so soon it will just say kids. But the 400 IU for kids has the same ingredients as the 400 IU for babies. -
@Maysprout: ah i found the baby kind at a local store. but i used to buy it on amazon!
