Carlson Nutritional Supplements Baby’s Super Daily® D3 400 IU

Frequently asked questions

How much vitamin D is in one drop?

One drop supplies 400 IU (10 mcg) of vitamin D3 — the daily amount the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends for breastfed and partially breastfed infants. Always follow your health visitor's or GP's guidance on infant supplementation.

How is it given to a baby?

It's a single concentrated drop in an MCT-oil (coconut/palm) base, so it can be placed on a clean nipple, dummy or spoon, or added to a bottle. There's no teaspoon of liquid to measure.

How long does one bottle last?

At one drop a day the bottle holds roughly 365 drops — about a year's supply for one child. Check the live listing for the exact bottle size before buying.

Is it free from sugar and allergens?

Carlson lists it as free of sugar, gluten, corn, wheat and artificial colours, and it carries IGEN Non-GMO testing. Check the current label if your child has specific sensitivities.

Why do babies need vitamin D drops?

UK guidance recommends a daily vitamin D supplement for breastfed babies (and formula-fed babies taking under 500 ml a day), as breast milk is low in vitamin D. Discuss the right product and dose with your health visitor.
