Same 🤣 just eat foods high in vitamin D & calcium and remember to take and give the vitamin when u can. Try not to stress it too much. I bought a spray version from boots its a higher dose of vitamin D so if i forget for a day or two ive still had enough over a week x

Oh i forget all the time 😂 its fine. They will get some vitamin d if you get them outside in the sunshine. It's more important over winter, so there's time to try and make it a habit

I don’t think it can be that big a deal as not one midwife/HV/doctor etc has mentioned it to me, I only know you should give it from research. (This is what I tell myself anyway as I also kept forgetting…)

Thank you!! It’s so easy to forget with all the other shit to remember! Xx

I'm pretty sure I forgot as well, maybe once or twice a week. It is important that you try to remember though, I think vitamin D is the only vitamin that is not transferable via the mom to the baby.

I’ve not had my baby yet and midwife asks every time if I’m still taking vitamin d…. Really struggling to remember so I’ve barely had any! 🙈 She said it helps with breastfeeding if I’m wanting to do that so I’m guessing if you’re breastfeeding fine then it must be ok 😊

My daughter rarely got her vitamin D when I was breastfeeding and she’s 18 months now 😅

I’ve never given my five month old vitamin D. She vomits up anything that isn’t milk!! Sometimes I remember to take mine 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've had to set up a reminder on my phone cause I always forget too🫠

I forgot all the time

I forget sometimes! It wasn’t even a thing when our parents were breastfeeding us and there’s been no issues 🤷‍♀️ as long as you’re not living off McDonald’s every day, it’ll be fine!

Always forget. Now she’s on solids I put her vitamins in her dinner to remind me x

From 3months onwards

Thanks everyone! Keep it coming it’s helping! Will definitely try an alarm xx

I've given my 10 month old vitamins drops maybe 3-4 times in her whole life😂😂
