Frequently Asked Questions
Why is vitamin D important for infants?
Vitamin D is crucial for infants as it aids in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, essential minerals for developing strong bones and teeth. Adequate vitamin D levels help prevent rickets, a condition characterized by soft and weak bones. Additionally, vitamin D supports the immune system, reducing the risk of infections and potentially lowering the likelihood of developing autoimmune diseases later in life.

How much vitamin D does my baby need daily?
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all infants receive 400 International Units (IU) of vitamin D daily, starting shortly after birth. This supplementation should continue until the infant consumes sufficient vitamin D through diet, such as drinking at least 32 ounces of vitamin D-fortified formula daily.
Is Baby Vit D suitable for infants with allergies?
Yes, Baby Vit D is formulated to minimize the risk of allergic reactions. It contains no preservatives, parabens, artificial colors, flavorings, peanut additives, sugars, lactose, or gluten, making it suitable for infants with various allergies or sensitivities.
How should I administer Baby Vit D to my infant?
Administering Baby Vit D is straightforward. Using the provided dropper, place 2 drops directly into your baby's mouth, on a spoon, or mix it with food or drink. Each drop contains 100 IU of vitamin D3, so 2 drops provide the recommended 200 IU per serving. The 10ml bottle contains approximately 340 drops, offering nearly a 6-month supply. After opening, it's advisable to store the bottle in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to 6 months.
Can I rely on sunlight exposure for my baby's vitamin D needs?
While sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, the American Academy of Pediatrics advises keeping infants under 6 months out of direct sunlight to protect their delicate skin. Therefore, relying solely on sunlight is not recommended for meeting your baby's vitamin D requirements. Supplementation ensures your infant receives the necessary amount without the risks associated with sun exposure.
Are there any risks associated with vitamin D supplementation in infants?
When administered correctly, vitamin D supplementation is safe and beneficial for infants. However, excessive intake can lead to vitamin D toxicity, resulting in symptoms like nausea, vomiting, weakness, and serious complications such as kidney damage. It's crucial to adhere to the recommended dosage and consult your pediatrician if you have concerns.
