Constip: Unlikely that the vit d constipated your son. At one year, it is hard to get enough fruits, vegets, fiber, liquids in the babies so they often struggle with constipation for a year or so. Keep offering the vit d as well as the fruits/ veget cut up small so he doesn't choke. Pick up some MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) powder at the pharmacy and have the pharmacist show you the amount to use in his beverages. Safe!
