Your breastfed baby needs vitamin D
Breast milk provides the best nutrition for babies. However, breast milk contains low levels of vitamin D, which helps in the normal development and maintenance of bones and teeth.
Health experts agree
Healthy term breastfed babies should receive a daily vitamin D supplement of 400 IU.
Health Canada further recommends that you give your baby a vitamin D supplement at birth and continue until the baby is one year old, or until your baby's diet provides at least 400 IU of vitamin D per day from other dietary sources.
