Description :

Vitamin d can be increased by having the pregnancy during the summer by living in a sunny region of the world or taking supplements by the way my opinion of this book is based on having read over 5000 articles as well written reviews of 15 books on vitamin d all at vitamindwiki dot com. Either the baby can be given drops of 400 iu a day directly or the mother can take 5000 iu a day half the safety threshold which will fortify her milk with enough vitamin d for the baby although all standard infant formulas are fortified with vitamin d vitamin d supplementation is also recommended for formula fed babies. As your baby gets older and you add solid foods to his or her diet you can help your baby meet the daily vitamin d requirement by providing foods that contain vitamin d such as salmon egg yolks and fortified foods if you have questions about your babys need for vitamin d supplements consult your babys doctor. The challenge is that vitamin d isnt found naturally in very many foods and while it may seem counterintuitive breast milk doesnt contain enough to meet your babys needs why do babies need vitamin d babies need vitamin d because its necessary for bone development helping a babys body absorb calcium and build strong bones
