In the newborn period, the two most commonly recommended vitamins are D and K.
Vitamin D: In Turkey, the Ministry of Health recommends all newborns receive 400 IU vitamin D supplement daily from birth. This continues throughout infancy. Vitamin D is critical for bone development and is not found in sufficient amounts in breast milk.
Vitamin K: A single dose of vitamin K injection is given right after birth. This is standard practice to prevent bleeding risk in newborns.
Other vitamins (iron, B12, etc.) generally don't require supplementation in early months; iron supplementation is usually considered from 4-6 months onward.
Important: Follow the vitamin type and dosage exactly as your baby's doctor recommends.
