Vitamin D causing gas in babies is a very rare occurrence. It's generally well tolerated. If your baby has gas issues, the most common cause is not vitamin D but your feeding method (swallowing air, foods you eat while breastfeeding) or the natural maturation of the digestive system.
That said, the carrier in the drops (usually an oil base like olive oil) could cause mild discomfort in a very sensitive baby. The simple way to understand this: stop the vitamin D drops for a few days and observe if the gas symptoms decrease. If they do, try giving the same drops at a different time (for example, in the middle of a meal); this might reduce gas.
You don't need to worry—this is temporary and harmless. But if your baby's bloating, restlessness, and gas have persisted for several weeks, you can talk to your doctor about switching drop brands.
