Sugar-free Vitamin D
Vitamin D is the only nutrient missing in breast milk. Since babies aren't exposed to sufficient sunlight (the primary source of vitamin D) to get the recommended 400IU they need for good health, breastfeeding mothers should supplement. It's always bothered us, however, that most vitamin D supplements are loaded with sugar. That's why we were happy to discover Baby Ddrops.
Baby Ddrops are preservative-free and have no artificial flavor or color. One drop of Baby Ddrops has 400IU of vitamin D and is mixed with an oil-based solution that is similar to a fat naturally present in breast milk.
Place one drop on a pacifier or your nipple prior to feeding and your baby will receive his vitamin D needs for the day. Once your baby is eating solids you can add Ddrops to his food.
(We also love that the company is 100% Canadian.)
