Vegan vitamin D2 drops for toddlers?

[To-Fu]

Hi! I'm looking to find some way to supplement my 22mo son's vitamin D intake. I know D3 is the best, but since it's not vegan, we're looking at D2. Does anyone know where I can get some drops or something that are toddler-appropriate?

I dont take D2 but my 20 mo DD takes the tablets I take. I give her half a tablet when she is healthy and a whole tablet while sick. One tablet contains 1000 IU. They dont taste like anything and she eats them. Try giving him a D2 tablet and see what happens. He may just chew it and eat it.

Why isn't D3 vegan? We use Carlson drops which is D3 in coconut oil for DS and DD2.

D3 comes from an animal source. From lanolin or liver, i believe. I live in Canada and need all the help I can get so I choose to use D3.

This is what we use also.

I had no idea D3 came from animal sources. I have learned something today.
