Vitamin D should be given to babies starting from birth. The Turkish Ministry of Health recommends that all babies receive 400 IU (international units) of vitamin D daily from day one. This support should continue regularly until at least age 1, regardless of whether your baby is breast-fed or formula-fed. Vitamin D is crucial for bone development in babies and supplementation is necessary because sun exposure alone isn't enough to produce adequate amounts. Your baby's pediatrician will advise on the best brand and form of vitamin D.
