Vitamin drops

Hi moms,
I had no idea I’m to give my new born vitamin drops if I’m breast/formula feeding.
My baby is 3weeks+.
What vitamins should I give her?
Do I ask my midwife?
Can I get the vitamin drops at the pharmacy or must I go to the Gp?
I’m sorry I sound anxious… I just don’t want to feel like I’m not doing my best 😥

Well this is the first I've heard of it as well and my little one is 5 weeks. I'm messaging my health visitor to find out more.
I'd ask your midwife or HV for advice.

It’s only if they are breast fed or have less than a certain amount of formula each day (I can’t remember how much, sorry)
It’s just the vitamin D drops that they need I believe.

Oh and you can get them from supermarkets, pharmacies etc

Breastfeeding only, they just need vit d drops x

Since we are combi feeding, my HV told me formulas usually have all the vitamins they'll need at that age.

If they’re exclusively breastfed or having less than 500ml of formula, they’re to have vitamin d drops

I’m combi feeding and using vit D drops until he’s on full formula

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Why is it so hard it to make friends?!

Panic attacks and anxiety attacks are so horrible!

I’m in Woodstock, Georgia and so hard to connect and find friends a just enjoy the park with and motherhood.
