I used these drops with my oldest child and now with my youngest. I just place one drop on my nipple before breastfeeding once a day. You could also put a drop in a bottle or mix with baby food. Neither child seems to mind the taste. One bottle will last along time, almost a year. My only complaint is that it sometimes takes a while for the drop to come out, which can be a little frustrating when you have a really hungry baby who does not want to wait a few seconds before he can eat. The bottle has a cap on the top that acts as a dropper, so you just have to turn the bottle upside down and wait for the drop to come out. In general, waiting a few seconds is not that big of a deal. I would still recommend these vitamin drops.
After trying the Enfamil brand where baby requires one ml to get 400 iu and baby hated it, I asked some moms in a group what they use and this was recommended. It’s oderless, tasteless and literally takes one drop. You must hold it upside down for maybe 3 seconds before the drop fully forms.
I was given a sample of these from my pediatrician for my son and they are amazing! I had to reread the instructions because I was shocked that he only needed a drop per day. With my first born it was a dropper full everyday (different brand) and it was difficult because she wouldn't take a bottle and it was too oily and made her gag and puke. With this product I've had no issues. I put a drop on my finger and stick it in his mouth...there is no struggle whatsoever. I would highly recommend this product to anyone needing to give vitamin d to a baby.
After getting a sample of the DViSol liquid for my little guy, we found it hard to get down him after the first few times. I ended up feeling bad because of the amount of liquid we had to give him every day in the little syringe. He would look at me like I was trying to feed him soap.
This is ONE drop. All I have to do is either drop it onto my finger, my boob, or into his little mouth and that's it! There isn't a taste, so he doesn't give me a grimace or gag. So easy, convienent, and better for my baby. I know he's getting what he needs with this bottle!
Like many others, I wanted vitamin D drops that would be safe for my newborn. These fit the bill perfectly, plus baby doesn't mind the taste at all.
Yes, the bottle is not completely full nor should it be if you read the description.
Yes the drop comes out slowly from the bottle, but what do you expect? It's a great design that only releases one drop at a time. Put the drop in a bottle, a pacifier, your finger or nipple and you're good to go!

Description
Ddrops Baby 400 IU, Vitamin D, 90 drops 2.5mL (0.08 fl.oz)
This was much easier to give and baby didn't spit out like the whole dropper full Enfamil. But still noticed baby spit up more after feeds so I went the mom supplement breast feeding route. It comes in a bottle like essential oil so you can put a drop on your nipple or Bottle nipple before feeding. However if you want to give it orally, this is better route. Other moms swear by this, it just didn't work for our little one.
I like the idea of one drop each time without touching the baby and washing the tube, however I found it's very easy to get a second drop right after the first one come off, which may result in overdose of vitamin D. Wish they improve the design
My doctor prescribed this product for my baby as she was underweight and her tummy needed more space for the breast-milk than getting filled by the Dropper diluted vitamin d liquid.
Its easy to apply a drop on the breast or directly in to the infants mouth but occasionally more than one drop might fall.
As the liquid in the bottle becomes less, the drops take more time to come out and the last few drops never come out and gets wasted.
Manufacture needs to look into this issue and come with a better option.
The product cost is on the higher side compared to a few other alternatives.
Overall I would give this product 4 stars because of its concentrated drop option and ease of applying and not 5 stars due to the slight wastage of fluid towards the end of use and the pricing.
I was rather surprised to learn that many Vitamin D drops for infants and toddlers required 5-10 drops per dose -- a bit difficult to do with a fussy baby.
My wife and I were quite pleased, then, to learn that the Ddrops are concentrated enough that only a single drop is required per day. This might not sound like a big deal, but it's far easier to place a single drop on a pacifier and know your baby is good to go.
PRO's:
--Only one drop per dose
--Bottle design makes it very easy to dispense only a single drop
--Doesn't taste horrible; our son doesn't seem to notice it at all
--Price is comparable to competing products found in stores--but they require several drops per dose anyway
CON's:
--Can't find this in stores, but that's why I love Amazon :)
BOTTOM LINE:
If you're trying to add some extra vitamin D to your baby's diet I can't imagine an easier to use product. Fairly priced, Highly recommended.
Our pediatrician recommended these drops for our daughter during her first visit after discharge. We would place the drops on her pacifier during the first couple of months and now (10 months) she takes them on pretty much anything...our pinkie, her finger, spoon, etc. Doesn't seem to have a bad taste or at least she doesn't mind whatever the taste is. We try to get outside pretty often with her but never hurts to supplement. Plus studies are showing that Vitamin D may be just as effective if not more than Vitamin C at supporting the immune system. Please note I'm no doctor and that claim is strictly based on personal research. Consult your doctor before administering to your child.
