D Drops Vitamin D supplement for Baby 400IU

A single drop is a full daily dose to supplement your baby's breastfeeding. This is an odourless, tasteless vitamin D drop. No sugar, colour or artificial flavourings or sweeteners! (They taste a little like plain vegetable oil).

If your child cannot keep down other types of vitamin D drops, you will likely have much better luck with these. Simply turn the bottle right upside down and allow a single drop to land on your nipple just before a feed. Baby will not even notice that it's there.

400 IU per drop (each bottle provides 90 drops, which is a 3 month supply).  

Another option for the breastfeeding mother who is concerned about her Vitamin D levels is to supplement herself with D Drops (see Nursing Accessories catalogue for Mama D drops)

Dr Jack Newman's recommendations on Vitamin D: 

It seems that breastmilk does not contain much vitamin D, but it does  have a little. We must assume this
is as nature intended not a mistake of evolution. In fact, breastmilk is one of the few natural foods that
does contain some vitamin D. We were obviously meant to get our vitamin  D from being exposed to
sunlight. The baby stores up vitamin D during  the pregnancy and he will remain healthy without vitamin
D  supplementation for at least a couple of months, unless the mother herself is vitamin D deficient
during the pregnancy. Vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women in Canada and the USA is uncommon,
but it  does exist. Outside exposure also gives your baby vitamin D even in  winter, even when the sky is
cloudy. A few minutes of exposure very late on a summer’s day is ample. Thirty minutes during a
summer week, and an hour or so in winter, gives your baby more than enough vitamin D  even if only his
face is exposed.

Under unusual circumstances, it may be prudent to give the baby vitamin  D. For example, in situations
where exposure of the baby to ultraviolet  rays of the sun is not possible (Northern Canada in winter or if
the  baby is never taken outside), giving the baby vitamin D drops would be  advised. If you have had
very little outside exposure yourself (women who are veiled are particularly at risk, especially if they are
dark skinned), make sure your intake of vitamin D during the pregnancy is  higher than usually
recommended. Your baby may need vitamin D supplementation as well. Recent studies suggest that high
intake of vitamin D while breastfeeding (4000 IU a day—10 times the usual recommended dose) does infact
increase the amount of vitamin D in the milk to levels that will protect the baby from rickets.
