Vitamin D Supplements Drops??? Posted: 10-05-06 15:06pm
I was on the enfamil site and it suggests
giving vitamin d supplements to baby's who
are exclusively breastfed...Does anyone
know if this is true??? I would of
thought the doctor would have told me this
but it says it is recommended by the
american academy of pediatrics...
I would ask your pediatrician before
giving any supplements.

I gave my daughter this (it's called
d-vi-sol). I was not aware that I had to
give her these drops until I read it was
recommended in one of my books. The
health nurse came to my house a few days
after her birth and also suggested them,
since she was exclusively breast fed. It
is a relatively new thing so your mother
or other mothers may not know of them. I
only gave her them for the first four
months, especially since we didn't venture
outdoors a lot (she was born in january).
Ask your doctor, of course, but it is
recommended nowadays.
