Providing infants and children with a Liquid Vitamin D supplement is essential. It is difficult for infants to obtain the proper recommended dose of vitamin D through breast milk alone, because break milk contains only 10% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin D. Babies need vitamin D for healthy growth and development.
Vitamin D is a vitamin and hormone that stimulates the body to absorb calcium, and it is needed to keep bones strong. People deficient in vitamin D levels tend to have more soft, thin bones, predisposing them to fractures.
How Much Vitamin D Does My Baby Require?:
Health Canada recommends that all breastfed, healthy term infants in Canada receive a daily vitamin D supplement of 10 ug (400 IU) or above. Vitamin D supplementation should begin at birth and continue until the infant’s diet includes as least 10 ug (400 IU) per day of vitamin D from other dietary sources.
