Do you give your baby calcium or vitamin D drops?

Question

Answer

My first born daughter got backed up from vitamin d. I did more research on it and learned it is not in any way needed if you're breastfeeding. No vitamin d deficiency at all!l with her either. So, I am not giving it to my youngest this time either! If you are worried, I suggest trying something like an actual sunlight lamp. They have sun light type bulbs that actually will provide vitamin d in your home :)

Answer

My pediatrician said as long as I'm still taking my prenatal vitamins and breastfeeding she is getting the vitamin d and calcium she needs. I hope this is correct.

Answer

I only give vitamin D because I'm breastfeeding

Answer

My pediatrician recommended vitamin D drops but didn't say anything about calcium supplements.

Answer

Why are either of these necessary?

Answer

Our pedi said as long as my LO is getting at least 8-12 ozs of formula per day then there is no need. I'm having to supplement due to low supply so he definitely gets this much in a day. However if you are EBF he said that babies should get D-Vi-Sol every day for vitamin D.
