Vitamin D and breastfeeding

So it’s been around a while that newborns who are breastfed need vitamin D supplement. However, they’ve discovered that now the mother can take it and it’ll benefit the mom and baby. My doctor said I can take 6,000 IU of vit D to benefit me and baby while breastfeeding. Anyone else taking vit D too? Just wondering how common it is for mom to take it

I usually take it and take big doses because I’m highly deficient on it since I’m from South America but didn’t know about this that it could pass to baby. My understanding was that very little passes to them so I had already bought some drops of it to have handy on days when I cannot put baby by a window to get some sun, which is my first plan at least until weather allows it.
I’ll see if I can find research on this, thanks for sharingz

of course:) very little does pass to baby but it definitely benefits them too

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
