Vitamin D drops suitable from birth

I can easily find vegan ones that say 6m+ I'm unsure if these are unsuitable for newborns or if it says 6m+ because because the government recommendation, that kids 6m+ supplement? Does anyone know of any baby specific drops that say suitable from birth please? I supplement myself as I'm deficient but I don't think it carries across in the milk

Vitashine™ Vegan Vitamin D3 Spray | Vegetology

​

Vitashine 1000iu Spray is perfect for a newborn baby. We’ve dosed each individual spray pump to be 200iu of Vitamin D3 (so to get the full daily dose of 1000iu, you spray 5 times). This is to make it flexible dose-wise to suit the whole family. For newborns, we recommend seeking advice from your Doctor or Midwife. We would typically recommend a single spray (so 200iu Vitamin D3) for newborn babies. You may be advised a little higher, but please do be sure to check for vitamin content in any baby formula/milk if you use any.
