Vitamin D- given too much

6 replies

I feel so anxious. I am sure that my health visitor told me to start giving my LO Vitamin D drops once she went under 600ml of formula a day. She has been taken round about 600ml or just under for the past two months, so I started giving her a a daily drop. I have just read on the NHS website that you are only supposed to give them once they go under 500ml. Will my baby be ok, or have I done any damage?

No harm done.

They’ll just wee the extra out. Don’t worry

Absolutely fine. Our bodies can handle extra vitamin d just fine.

100% no issues. If you lived in a different country you'd be told different levels, they all have their own ideas and it's generally guesswork since you've no idea how much of it baby actually absorbs.

They'll be fine, don't worry! Although, just to be pedantic the comment above about "just weeing it out" isn't actually true for fat soluble vitamins, so some people do indeed overdose on vitamin D supplements. But in your particular case OP, the levels would not be high enough to cause harm.
