Vitamin D yes or no? (Breastfeeding mums)
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?
