Breastfeeding. yesterday missed to give liquid vitamin d to my 3months old baby. is it ok? i am taking prenatal vitamins that also contain vitamin d

Missing vit D dose: No problem, 1 missed dose will not affect your baby, besides vitamins D in normally formed by the body from exposure of the skin to the sun. Try to give your baby the vitamin at the same time you take yours, this way you don't forget. Good luck & enjoy your baby.
