Baby always spit up his Vitamin drops, does it mean he doesn’t get enough vitamin D and has negative effect?

Question

Hi, my baby is exclusively breastfed and every time when I give him his Vitamin drops, he would spit up some of it as much as possible since he hates the taste.. I need to give him 1ml, but I think every time after he spits up, he only takes 0.6-0.8 ml actually, is that enough for him? Or shall I give one more time with 0.3ml for example? Thank you very much!

Answer

Don’t give him any more than the initial dose!

Answer

Take an extra vitamin D supplement and itll pass through your milk

Answer

Or put the drop directly on your nipple when you go to feed him! That was an option I was told and I used it. It was an easy way to give it.

Answer

Is it possible to pump some breast milk into a bottle to mix the drops with? I had to do that for my daughter.

Answer

I put one drop on my nipple then latch on. Works great.

Answer

We couldn’t use any...and we tried MANY brands, baby would spit up any way we tried to give them. I did a little digging and asking my new pediatrician who basically said it’s not a life or death thing... as long as my diet is well balanced and I’m taking my prenatal with enough D in it I didn’t need to worry much. We just watched closer for any issues related to low D

Answer

Most likely just doesn’t sit well with his stomach, try a different brand. I used this one and the dosage is literally just a drop
