Description
Baby Ddrops
Baby Ddrops® is a liquid vitamin D3 designed specifically for breastfed babies and infants.
Only 1 drop is required to provide the full daily dose as recommended by the Canadian Pediatric Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics, making it a convenient and easy way to give your baby the nutrients that she needs.
Choosing to breastfeed your baby is an important decision. Breast milk is a most perfect source of nutrients because it is composed of the right amounts and appropriate types of fat, carbohydrates and proteins that infants require. However, same as it is difficult for adults to obtain their vitamin D from food, breastfed babies also need to obtain their vitamin D from a combination of the sun, food and supplements. Breast milk contains only 10% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin D. Babies need vitamin D for healthy growth and development. In particular, bones require vitamin D to help with the absorption of calcium. Recent studies show that more vitamin D or sunshine during infancy seems to prevent other diseases later in life, such as juvenile diabetes or multiple sclerosis.
The Canadian Pediatric Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that breastfed infants receive a daily dose of 400 IU vitamin D supplementation.
Baby Ddrops® is ideally suited for infants (ages 0-2yrs of age). It was specifically designed for breastfed babies.

Ddrops® FAQ
Doesn’t the oil in Ddrops® go rancid?
The oil is purified to remove the parts that tend to go bad. The oil protects the vitamin D, keeping it stable.
Does Ddrops® need to be refrigerated once the bottle is opened?
Ddrops® products do not require refrigeration.
What if the Ddrops® bottle is left outside and freezes?
We have tested the effects of freezing on Ddrops®. It does become hard at temperatures below freezing, but after it thaws back to room temperature, Ddrops® returns back to normal.
Is it Ok to put Ddrops® into hot drinks and/or warm food?
Yes, Ddrops® is designed to be put into food or drinks. The heat of cooking might lessen the potency of vitamin D by a few percentage points, but not enough to make a big difference. We suggest adding the vitamin D after cooking.
Does the Ddrops® bottle need to be shaken to get the drop out?
Do not shake the bottle to get the drop out. Hold the bottle upside down, and let the drop come out by itself.
