Baby didn’t take vitamin D

No one told me that babies need to take vitamin d drops everyday!!! My baby is over 4 months now and never took any drops! I only found out because my mum asked me yesterday if he has any and then I asked my gp today at the vaccine appointment and she casually said it’s very important to take them! We bought some now but he didn’t have any vitamin d up until now, reading online it scares me because it says 4 months is too late to start now I’m so worried but no gp or anyone told me 😅 I was just told to take vitamin d supplements as I am breastfeeding but Aparently that’s not enough online

Don’t beat yourself up. Lots of people don’t know! Baby will get small amounts in the breastmilk you’re right, but just start giving drops now. I forget some days (also EBF).

It’ll be okay! I didn’t know til very late, like until we started weaning and she gets it from diet/ being outside mostly now anyways! I’m sure your baby got plenty of natural vitamin D during the summer! Literally 5- 30 minutes of sunlight (obvs not when its super harsh direct sunlight) gives them what they need!

wait my baby is 5 months and no one has ever told me this!

Glad to hear that 😫 I started today I’ll be consistent with it!

@Rylee 😭😭😭 just start now as well it’s better late than never I guess 😫

My girl is nearly 8 months now and she point blank refused to take anything so she's never had it x
