Baby vitamin D with empty or full stomach?
⚡ Short answer: Giving vitamin D to your baby with a full stomach maximizes absorption — if given on an empty stomach, most of it won't be used by the body.

Baby vitamin D with empty or full stomach — it's my first baby and I have no idea, can you help?

Don't worry, this is a very common question. Give your baby vitamin D with a full stomach. Empty stomach means most of the vitamin won't be absorbed.
The easiest way is to give the drop while your baby is nursing or right after finishing a bottle, or you can put the drop on the inside of your baby's cheek and they'll swallow it with their next feed. That way the baby barely tastes it and it gets absorbed better.
The Ministry of Health recommends 400 IU daily (usually 3 drops), given with a meal. With your first baby, everything feels new at first, but you'll get the hang of it.
