A good naturopath can direct you on giving him Vitamin D-3. Is his immune system dysfunctional?

I would ask sheri but with my children - I give them liquid Vitamin D. I take

the gel caplets of Vit D for myself. I do not think it would hurt. Also, give

multivitamin.

Heidi,

I've been giving my little girl Vit D since last Oct when she was 6

months old. I stopped giving it to her daily since nice weather and

almost-daily sun exposure. She breastfeeds, and I take Vit D and

expose myself to the sun as often as I am able to. At first I cut the

end off a 5,000 mg cap and split that up over 4 days. Then I found the

easier-to-use drops, which contain 1,000 mg per drop. I get our caps

from www.homefirst.com and the drops from

http://www.drtenpennystore.com/

Hope this helps!

I have a month old, breastfed baby and at her 2 week check, the dr. told me to

give her vitamin d drops (we live in WA, so have opposite problem -- not much

sun most of the year!). I have a bottle of Carlson's drops, you give one drop a

day for an infant, so it may be the same or a drop more for a toddler. Here's

what we have:

I wouldn't do the gummy vitamins. Why train them to only take stuff that tastes

like candy? Just give him the little soft gel capsule of straight Vit D without

any of the other filler/junk stuff. My kids have taken it since they were old

enough to chew and swallow it. I just told them it was a vitamin and was good

for them. They could have their applesauce (fill in blank) after they ate it.

My youngest just wanted it because he saw the older ones taking it, so he never

fussed about it. None of my 5 make even a face about it anymore.

I would do at least 500 and up to 1000 and skip on days he's out in the mid day

sun. I miss giving it to the kids lots of days because we just do, but ideally

I give it to them at least 3 times a week. We are in sunny california - but

don't always get out in the sun.

There is not much time in the sun needed to provide the body with what it needs to make VitD...I believe the doc told me (I am low in VitD like most of America) to spend 15 minutes only in the sun at peak hours, 11a-2p and have as much skin exposed as possible...I do think a baby can tolerate a hot day for 15 minutes, no? I would not look to do anything unnatural to a baby over VitD unless blood tests showed a deficiency AND the sun exposure was not working.

Instead of getting something synthetic, you might want to look into Cod Liver

Oil in conjuction with Sunlight, try going swimming, playing in the sprinklers

or something that allows you to be outside that is cool.

This article will help explain Vitamin D and where to get it.
