Does my breastfed baby need Sterol D™ (vitamin D supplement)?
Answer from a Pharmacist Doctor.
Breastfed or partially breastfed babies need 400 international units (IU) of liquid vitamin D a day — starting soon after birth. Babies should continue to receive this amount of vitamin D until weaned or until they drink about 1 liter a day of vitamin D-fortified formula. Young children should still have vitamin drops, even if they get out in the sun.
What do Vitamin D drops do for babies?
Your child's doctor might ask you to supplement your breastfed baby's diet with vitamin D drops. These drops can help protect your child against rickets and play an important role in your baby’s developing health. In addition to the drops, you can ensure your child is getting enough vitamin D by getting enough vitamin D yourself.
Vitamin D deficiency in children is not only associated with softened bones, but also decreased sleep duration & poorer sleep efficiency.
Because Vitamin D doesn’t always pass through breastmilk, doctors recommend Sterol D drops
