I hate this stuff, it stinks, my daughter hates the taste, and it stains clothes; however, she was sent home from the NICU on it so we must give it to her. (Jan 02, 2017)

Bought this w/ iron & it smells awful! Makes baby’s poop smell just as bad & tints it black, BUT it’s good for baby so I put up w/ it. I pre-wash stains w/ blue Dawn asap & put OxyClean in the washer. Aug 26, 2019

Smells horrible, stains clothing, NICU & pediatrician recommend, so I use. Mix with formula, not straight! I made mistake of giving straight 1 time & she screamed! I think it constipates too Jul 15, 2019

My baby hates it. It smells horrible. And he keeps spitting it up. May 08, 2019

Doctor recommended vitamin D supplements while breastfeeding so we went with this since it has other vitamins as well. It was fine when mixed in milk but my baby hated it given directly in her mouth. Apr 22, 2019

Used the drops while breastfeeding. Consult with Pediatrician. Great for my breast-fed baby to supplement vitamin D intake. Jun 25, 2018

My baby HATES all vitamin drops. They're very bitter, but I continue to give them to him when he's around lots of people to boost his immune system. Jun 04, 2018

Disgusting! Baby refuses to take it and when she does she reeks of vitamins for days. There's got to be a better one! Nov 07, 2017

My son was prescribed these while hospitalized as a newborn. They smell horrible, and stain everything. We mix in his formula to mask taste. If you don't need them per Dr's request then I'd skip them. Nov 05, 2017

My daughter hated the taste of the product and the amount of vitamins that I had to give her was a little overwhelming for her. Oct 17, 2017

Our son likes the taste. If your child does not you can mix it with formula or breast milk. Feb 19, 2017

My son HATES this stuff, and I don't blame him. The smell alone makes me want to vomit, and it tastes just as bad. I even tried putting it in a green smoothie, and it was still awful. Oct 08, 2016

Because it DOES stain when giving to your LO have a napkin right there to catch any that falls out before it quickly reaches clothes. We didn't have any issues with taste. Sep 01, 2016

Not our favorite, we much prefer Zarbees. This caused more spit ups, more gas, less diaper action and I stopped using within a week. Feb 19, 2020

Our daughter has to take these vitamins plus iron twice a day because of prematurity. She doesn’t like the taste, so she will take in breastmilk. It smells odd and makes the milk brown/green. Jan 04, 2020

Stuff is gross. Tastes aweful and stains everything. My son was required to take it for 3 months and he hated them. There was no way to help with the taste either. He would spit up Brown milk too. Oct 22, 2019

The smell is terrible. Had to use it for iron deficiency due to a hereditary blood disorder. I would mix it in food; otherwise he would refuse to take it. May 18, 2017

This stuff is nasty but my son tolerated it so we used it for 2 years. Apparently it not only stains clothing, it also stains teeth if used diligently! The stains will have to be buffed off when he's a little older :-( Aug 06, 2016

Baby takes it but doesn't love it. Taste is pretty unpleasant. Apr 06, 2016

When our 1-year old tested slightly anemic, our pediatrician recommended these daily drops. It stains and is kinda smelly, but my son didn't mind and he is no longer anemic (so I think it helped). Jul 29, 2014

The smell makes me sick even giving to my toddler, I shudder to think how it actually tasted. After gagging the first few times, we stopped trying. Jun 20, 2014

Smells disgusting! I feel bad to give it to baby, but she doesn't mind toooo much. Apr 03, 2014

Easy to mix into bottles or applesauce. Feb 11, 2014
Whew! What a smell! Baby didn't mind, but everyone else in the house did. If you need to give baby D, go with the straight D-Vi-Sol instead Jan 24, 2014

This stuff is AWFUL! Seriously tastes horrible. We bought some Caslon vitamin d drops in coconut oil that were much better, and no horrible taste. Sep 29, 2013
