You don't need to worry about vitamin D, because in Turkey this is a quite common and regular practice. Turkey's Ministry of Health recommends that all babies receive 400 IU (9 drops) vitamin D daily starting from birth through their first birthday. It usually starts when you leave the hospital and is monitored regularly by a family doctor or pediatrician. How old is your baby? If it hasn't started yet, consulting a pediatrician or family doctor soon is sufficient.
