Thank you for your comments. Yes, there are various baby vitamin D products out there. My only personal bias against D-drops is twofold:
a. some parents will say that they are unsure whether or not the baby took the drop (is so minute, is hard for them to tell at times), so there is a chance of either overdosing (if given and the baby actually had it) or underdosing (by not giving it, when baby actually did not take it).
b. in a lot of supermarkets the baby vitamin D-drops (400 IU/drop) are right next to the adult vitamin D-drops (1000 IU/drop), so sometimes by mistake the wrong one is bought and given to the baby.
Otherwise, if used appropriately, the D-drops are just fine!

Thank you very much for your comment. Indeed, vitamin D is important. Please ensure your baby will supplement with vitamin D in his first year of life.

Thanks so much, Dr. Sharon! Great picture.
