Hi All, i started giving my EBF little one vitamin D drops and I also started taking some myself (tablets) as advised by midwife. As soon as we started taking them she was having very green mucus poos and I feared she may have had an allergy or issues with my oversupply.
It dawned on me the only thing I had changed was adding vitamin D so last 2 days neither of us have taken it and we’re back to mustard poos.
Anyone else experience this? I’m conscious EBF babies need vitamin D so I planned to reintroduce it next week just to her and see if she’s ok with it. I checked the one I used for her and it’s just vitamin D and coconut oil in it and my tablets are just the vitamin so no iron etc to explain the spinach/pesto poos.
Thanks!

My oldest didn't react well to vitamin d drops at all. His poop and tummy couldn't handle it. I talked to my pediatrician and she was fine stopping them

Thanks I have an appointment next week so planned on mentioning it then x

If you're taking a supplement it will travel through your milk. Take baby out in the sun. No need for them to have the drops. I ebf and was never told to give it, neither was anyone I know. Maybe it's a different country/different recommendations type deal

im uk based, they said it doesn’t travel through milk annoyingly c

interesting. I wonder if I can find a study on that. Vitamin d is still available from sunlight, fatty fish, and small amounts in eggs cheese and mushrooms.
