I had to actually read the FDA page to figure out how this is a problem. Too much Vitamin D for infants with impaired renal (Kidney) function can be bad. It’s unlikely to impact the average infant consuming it.

It takes months of very high consumption of Vitamin D to become toxic. Like 60,000 IU per day (for an adult) for 3+ months continuously.

For comparison baby formula normally contains about 30 IU per 100mL, and they drink about 800ml per day as a newborn (or a total of 180IU per day)

Infant Vitamin D drops are 400IU per drop, these are recommended to give daily in Northern States and Canada in addition to what they get from other sources.

Admittedly CMS isn’t a news outlet but these are the people who actually make the decisions.

I take one of these drugs, Farxiga - I’m diabetic. It’s listed here at $556 a box, I was paying almost $400 a month as my insurance copay in the states. Six months ago I moved to Portugal and here in the European Union it costs me 7 euros to fill that same prescription for 90 days. And that’s through the Public Health Service; I don’t have private health care at all!
