Of course, there's no need to worry—everything is new with your first baby, and asking questions is very natural.
Vitamin D is quite important for babies because breast milk and formulas generally don't contain enough of it; it's needed for bone development and immune system function.
The Ministry of Health recommends all babies receive 400 units (IU) vitamin D daily starting from birth. Pharmacy baby vitamin D drops, including Ocean brand, are generally formulated to provide this 400 IU per single drop.
For practical usage tips:
- You can drop it directly on your baby's tongue or inside the cheek.
- Alternatively, you can mix it into a spoonful of breast milk or formula and give it that way (but make sure your baby drinks all of it, or the drop could stay in the bottle).
- Giving it once daily at a consistent time helps you build a routine.
