Based off of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2005-2006 (NHANES, USA), the investigation on the content of vitamin D in the diet, the results showed that the average daily intake of vitamin D from food by men is only 204-288 IU, female is about 144-276 IU. Besides, according to the 2005-2008 National Nutrition and Health Status Survey, the concentration of serum 25(OH)D in people age 19 and over was studied, and it was found that the national average was 18.1 ng/mL, and more than 66% of people in Taiwan were in vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL ), less than 2% of people are adequate (> 33 ng/mL). Although there may be differences between different age groups and lifestyles, it is difficult to achieve the recommended daily intake simply by getting vitamin D from the diet alone; thus, to further consider of taking vitamin D supplements is suggested.

Why do babies need to supplement vitamin D? Vitamin D is critical for improving calcium absorption. It is involved in the growth and development of bones and teeth. In order for children to win at the starting point, vitamin D must not be ignored. The vitamin D content of breast milk is not high, only about 5-136 IU / L, which is related to the maternal vitamin D levels. Hence, exclusive breastfeeding babies are not easy to achieve the recommended daily intake. Meanwhile, very little researches can prove that infants and young children can obtain sufficient amounts of vitamin D from sun exposure (note : attention should be paid to the possible risk of UV damage for infants and young children under direct sunlight). In countries with limited sunshine hours such as Europe and the United States, it is recommended that infants and young children under one year old, especially exclusive breastfeeding babies who have not added non-staple foods within six months, supplement vitamin D 400 IU daily after birth. The US Pediatrics Association has further advised to formula-fed babies, if the daily supplement is less than 1000 ml (the infant formula contains about 40 IU vitamin D per 100 ml), it is suggested to add 400 IU vitamin D every day as well. In Taiwan, the Pediatric Medical Association has also proposed the same standard of advice.

How much vitamin D should you take for optimal health? In the daily recommended amount of vitamin D3, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggests that infants and young children (0-12 months of age) recommend a minimum intake of 400 IU of vitamin D3. As for children between age 1 to 13, the recommended dose is at least 600 IU per day. The recommended value for the upper limit of intake varies from country to country. Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (ULs) of the National Institutes of Health and the National Health Administration of the Ministry of Welfare of the Ministry of Health in Taiwan are recommended as the infographic below :

Why vitamin D supplementation matters for babies?

Newborns are rarely taken out to a sunbath, and his/her vitamin D supplementation can only be obtained from breast milk or formula. If the mother has higher vitamin D levels, her breastfed baby would receive higher vitamin D levels through the breast milk. In order to prevent the baby from having vitamin D deficiency, there are two things to be aware of: first of all, the mother must supplement sufficient vitamin D herself. Secondly, according to the recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Taiwan Pediatrics Association, to give the newborn vitamin D supplementation 400 IU daily.

What are the common vitamin D products for infants and young children on the market? What are the differences?

Vitamin D products commonly found on the market can be roughly classified into two categories:
1). Liquid Drop : Good for babies over 0 years old. Liquid drops are easy to use and can be dripped on the mother's nipple, pacifier, or added into formula milk and complementary food. It’s ease-of-use, suitable for mommy to take at the same time as well. Plus, to adjust the dose is simple.
2). Soft Candy : Only suitable for children over 2 years old, to avoid the risk of swallowing. However, soft candy products usually contain sugar and are easy to cause tooth decay, so this type of supplements are generally less recommended to children.

Is there no vitamin D in breast milk?

Breast milk provides all the vitamins a baby needs except for vitamin D. The vitamin D content is just too little to support what a baby needs. Therefore, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Taiwan Pediatrics Association have recommended to give the newborn vitamin D supplementation 400 IU daily.

After starting complementary feeding, do babies still need to supplement vitamin D?

After a baby reaches 6 months old, gradually try a variety of complementary foods, adding vitamin D supplement is still necessary. The vitamin D content in the food is not high; hence, having complementary food does not affect the baby to receive the supplemental vitamin D.

Can you get enough vitamin D from sunlight?

Vitamin D can be synthesized in the bare skin upon exposure to UVB rays from the sun. However, there are several problems: First, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that babies within 6 months should not be exposed to sunlight directly. Because baby's skin is very delicate; when expose to the sun improperly, it is easy to cause skin burns. Meanwhile, if the sun directly hit baby's eyes, it is also easy to cause harm, the risk is high. For age more than 6 months, you need to pay attention to sun protection, such as avoiding strong UV rays, applying sunscreen, wearing long-sleeve trousers, and wearing wide-brimmed hats. Secondly, it is difficult to control the amount of vitamin D obtained from the sun; plus, the sun protection measures, air pollution, the sunshine intensity and other factors would all affect the effect. Therefore, although it is necessary for the baby to have proper outdoor activities to obtain certain amounts of vitamin D, it is not suggested to rely on the sun to supplement the vitamin D, in case of vitamin D deficiency.

Why is D3 the most common dietary form, not D2?

In fact, vitamin D is a big family; the most important forms used by the body are D2 and D3. Nutrition experts say that D3 is better than D2 in improving vitamin D levels. Vitamin D3 is currently the best option for dietary and nutritional supplements. The ingredients contained in the vitamin D supplements on the market could be animal D3 or botanical D2, so please pay attention to the label when purchasing. In general, D3’s activity is much better than D2. Therefore, D3 should be considered as a priority when using as supplements.

Can too much vitamin d hurt you? 

Taking extremely high doses of vitamin D3 must be under the supervision of medical professionals. In general, we cannot supplement more vitamin D than the following amount :
1). 0-6 months, 1000 IU/day
2). 7-12 months, 1500 IU/day
3). 1-3 years old, 2500 IU/day
4). 4-8 years old, 3000 IU/day
5). Children and adults over 8 years old, 4000 IU/day
6). 4000 IU/day for pregnant and breastfeeding women
Under normal circumstances, giving your baby 400 IU of vitamin D, plus regular outdoor activities and diet, there should be no side effects.
