I’m a first-time mum and I’m exclusively breastfeeding. Since I started giving my baby vitamin D drops, he seems to have stomach pain, discomfort, and gas. This morning he also vomited some yellow fluid (bile). I contacted NHS 111 and got a GP appointment this afternoon.
The doctor told me that I don’t need to give my baby vitamin D because it’s already in my breast milk. However, my health visitor and the feeding support team have always told me that I should give vitamin D supplements.
Now I’m confused about what to do. Who is right, and why are they giving different advice?

I'm exactly the same but not started vitamin d yet. Interested to see feedback on this so commenting to boost visibility but nothing to contribute in terms of knowledge. Sorry

The levels of vitamin d are often way too low for babies. Formula has added vitamin d in it to supplement. I use D-drops (Amazon for £9 ish) and just do one drop on your nipple a day, it’s fairly easy. Helps with bone development!

Im in the same boat, never used it with my first two, this time round iv been using it but not every day and have noticed that this baby struggles alot more with wind then the other two did so we are constantly doing bicycle legs to get pops out, of course this could just be coincidence, but am interested to see what other people say on the matter!!
