Vitamin D making baby fussy?

[stepmumSW5]

Has anyone experienced this? I'm giving lo the drops supplied by the NHS.

What are they doing to make you think it's the drops?

Newborns can be fussy for many reasons.

FWIW I never bothered to give it.

@Twizbe I've read online that it can cause it depending on the ingredients as some of them cause stomach discomfort and my baby has been super uncomfortable since we started the nhs drops. I've now bought another option with only 2 ingredients (coconut oil and vut d) but first I'll test a couple of days with no drops.

I dunno, newborns are fussy things

How are you feeding?

I breastfed and took a vitamin D supplement. I also went outside every day and got some sunlight on baby (I had 2 winter babies)

When I had my eldest no one mentioned anything about vitamin D drops

@Twizbe breastfeeding. My baby is 4 weeks old

Buy the oral spray for you, and take a double dose
Enough will get through your milk

My HV told me they aren’t supposed to deviate from the ‘give your baby drops’ as standard advice but if I was her friend and not her patient, this is what she would suggest I did, nod nod wink wink
