Irene had her vitamin D levels checked and they are a bit low (16 I think although I have no idea what the ranges are). Her dr. wrote a prescription for vit. d drops or suggested crushing up a chewable vitamin. The drops weren't covered by our insurance so I guess I'll see about the chewable kind. It's winter here now and the angle of the sun doesn't expose her to much of the sun's ability to give her vitamin d (not to mention we don't spend much time outside due to the cold). Anybody have experience with giving their baby vitamins? Or does anybody know if I could increase my vitamin D intake so she gets more through breast milk? Does anybody know what a reasonable level of vit. D should be? Thanks for any input.
