Kosher vitamin D drops?

Pediatrician prescribed vitamin supplements for my BF'ing infant. After picking it up from the pharmacy, DH noticed that it is flavored with an ingredient that is potentially problematic, and our pharmacy gives the generic of everything which, in this case at least, doesn't have a hechsher. Does anyone know of a brand of infant vitamin supplements that has a hechsher? (and do you reckon the dr could prescribe a specific brand?)

Enfamil makes vitamin drops with a hechsher. I remember buying iron (I think!)

Yes Enfamil makes different kinds of vitamin supplements for infants w/ an OU--there are multi-vitamin drops calls tri-vy-sol and poly-vi-sol, and one that just has Vitamin D.

Thanks so much! I (inexplicably) couldn't find the info on their website. I had to squint at the product image from amazon to confirm. Weird.

I go for Carlson Baby drops for Vitamin D. Rabbi Heber from the Star K said it is perfectly fine kashrus wise. You only need to give 1 drop a day....not a dropper full!
