Parenting Infants** have the ability to synthesize vitamin D through ultraviolet irradiation.
For babies to get enough vitamin D through sun exposure, they need to have enough sunlight, adequate exposure range, and adequate sun exposure time.
Baby's **delicate, premature exposure to sunlight may cause damage to the baby's**. In addition, high-energy blue light can penetrate the lens to the baby's retina, adversely affecting the baby's vision.
Therefore, to ensure that the baby has enough vitamin D, in addition to maximizing the baby's time in the sun, vitamin D can also be given by mouth.
Oral vitamin D supplementation drops.
Supplementation: A few days after birth (when feeding is stable).
Supplemental dose: Supplement with 400 IU of vitamin D daily.
Supplementation method: Drops are dosed into the baby's mouth before breastfeeding.
Tips: Babies who have difficulty taking vitamin D daily can take a comparable dose of vitamin D orally once a week or once a month (it is recommended to consult a doctor in the above cases).
The amount of vitamin D provided by formula milk is estimated at 700 ml of milk per day, and if it provides 400 IU of vitamin D, no additional vitamin D can be supplemented.
A daily dose of 400 IU of vitamin D meets the vitamin D needs of infants with no exposure to sunlight at all.
Suitable for infants up to 6 months of age.
