I live in the sunniest city in Canada. So during the summer I chose to use sunshine as our family’s source of Vitamin D. But now the seasons are changing.
We seem to have skipped autumn altogether and jumped straight to winter {and we were forced to eat Robin’s minstrels*}. So I felt uncomfortable leaving Lucy without a supplement.
I purchased some Vit D drops at the store. But she hated them. She fought us the whole time we tried to deposit the dropper contents in her mouth. And I hated that they had a bunch of extra junk in them {like artificial flavoring}.
Then I saw Baby Ddrops on Twitter. I knew right away I wanted to do a review. Why?
Baby Ddrops are a daily, single drop dose with no flavors, preservatives, or colors.
They sent me a bottle (one tiny bottle contains 90 doses) to try. I’ve been using it for a while now and I’m very pleased. No more fighting Lucy to get her to swallow as much of her dose as possible. I just put a drop on my boob right before a feed. She has no clue she’s even getting anything.
Did I say “very pleased?” I meant very, very, very pleased. Really. I don’t know what else to say. These drops are super easy to give Lucy. And they don’t have questionable crap in them. You really can’t improve on that…well, unless they were free. And guess what, for two of my Canadian readers they will be!
That’s right folks! Baby Ddrops is going to give two lucky readers their own bottle of Baby Ddrops!

Contest open to Canadian residents only.
Good luck!
*And there was much rejoicing! Yaaaaay!
I didn't realize the recommended dose for pregnant women is 2000IU. I was worried taking 3000 every other day was too much.

ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so glad you have a great D supplement that you like! It's so important to use an oil based vitamin D as opposed to those chalky pills. ;P
ReplyDeleteTo comment on Lisa's comment, many North Americans could take 10,000IU a day for a long time and not even come close to the dangerous levels. The best way to know if you are getting enough vitamin D is to have it checked the next time your blood work is done. It's super easy for them to tell you your serum levels. I take 4000IU a day and my serum levels are at 60 whatever units. Levels should be between 30 and 100. I aim for the higher end of that since I live in a cloudy rainy place (Seattle) and am still breastfeeding my baby (Lucy's cousin!)

ReplyDeleteI've read about taking higher doses, it just concerned me when I was pregnant. I probably should have testing done, since I live in North/ Central Canada & I have weird reactions to some supplements.
I became a fan of Baby DDrops AGES ago on facebook, so I didn't *re* become one but I am one, just so's you know. :-)

ReplyDeleteI went to the facebook link for the drops, but I couldn't find a way to leave a comment. Do you have to be a fan first? and does "Contest open to Canadians only" mean you have to live in Canada??
ReplyDelete(Oh, and that Laura comment was from lameredith@gmail.com)
ReplyDeleteBaby Ddrops are wheat-free, gluten-free, soya-free and peanut-free.
