It's very natural to feel confused about vitamin D supplementation, because there really are many different brands and forms on the market.
Turkey's Ministry of Health recommends that all babies receive 400 IU vitamin D daily starting from birth. This is the standard dose that pediatricians also prescribe. What matters is not the brand, but making sure the product contains 400 IU vitamin D per drop.
The safest approach is: get the form your pediatrician recommends from a trusted pharmacy. Sometimes the dose may need adjustment based on your baby's weight, feeding method, and sun exposure—don't change the dose without consulting your doctor. It's normal that people around you say different things; everyone is describing what worked for their own baby, but your baby's doctor will best know what your baby needs.
