Hi mums so I’ve been EBF for 3 months now and when I gave birth I asked the midwife if she needs vitamin d and was said that it’s not necessary now. However I’ve read that they need it for at least the first year. I feel like a terrible mum 😭

I didn't give my first vit d for 8 months because I didn't know, she's not had any issues and she's 15 months so I don't think you need to feel bad xx
should I start giving it to her now?xx

Don’t feel bad. Midwives advice is so hit and miss sometimes!
The NHS recommends you give breastfed babies vitamin D so I would start as soon as possible.

Yea I'd start now x
