@Marie the only thing is one drop of the vitamin d is a full 400 so idk if i should give it to him bc there’s not really a way to give him less of it. he gets 180-240 a day with the formula
@Emily so every 2 days it sounds like a drop of vitamin D would be fine. Not every day then
Take him on walks and get him outside and you shouldn’t have to supplement! Just use sun screen😊
@Kaya Smith i would love to do that just he’s only 2 months so they don’t recommend sunscreen and we live in an area where the sun is really strong. i try to get him out later in the day when uv rays aren’t as high but i feel he’s not getting enough still for that reason if that even matters
when in doubt, ask your doctor!
@Kennedy he doesn’t currently have a doctor because the soonest appointment isn’t til mid august and my husband is military so our insurance really limits where he can be seen and now we’re in the middle of a move across the country so it’s gonna be another month before i can get him seen unfortunately
@Kaya Smith thank you!
No :), since you’re combo feeding baby wouldn’t require any additional vitamin D, only if baby is strictly using breast milk.
Look & see hm vitamin D is in the formula & subtract that from 400IU. Then you only need the difference in a supplement. Sometimes formula already has 400 international units in it so it’s fine & doesn’t need more. I think we still supplemented some but not all 400 units once I weaned off breastmilk.
