Vitamin D Drops

How are you EBF mamas getting vitamin D to your littles? I use wellement drops but struggle to get it in her mouth and not even sure she is absorbing it. If you supplement yourself instead of baby, what are you taking?

I typically just put a drop on my nipple or on his paci before putting it in his mouth!

you can try to stick it in their mouth when you’re actively BF. or do one bottle a day just make sure you pace feed to prevent them from getting a preference for the bottle due to being able to eat without having to put in effort. for supplementing yourself, i have no advice i usually forgot to even give them the drops.

Not EBF anymore but I still put it on his paci during whatever diaper change of the day I remember to do it (I keep the drops in his nightstand and that’s where we change him) and pop it in! Super painless. And for me? I still take my prenatals and they have vitamin D. Do you mean more than prenatals?

I just give my baby one bottle of pumped milk a day and put it in that, I’m dealing with quite an oversupply so I usually pump once a day anyways on top of feeds

Great, thank you all! I love the paci idea!

I got one over the counter but mine says I can put it directly into mouth? It told me to put it in bottle before feeding? Even if it says don’t put it directly into mouth could I still put it or no? The one that the doctor prescribed me with my first child I could put it into mouth but my second one I didn’t get it because it didn’t cover her insurance so I just bought it over the counter one.

you can put it right into their bottle

I drop it into her mouth during play time when she’s laying down and calm. Usually has her mouth slightly open

I squeeze my boob to get a small amount of milk then put a drop on my nipple.
