Why is the intake of vitamin D in babies so necessary?
Children need vitamin D for growth and bone development. The same goes for babies developing in the womb. Vitamin D helps us absorb calcium. Severe vitamin D deficiency in children can cause rickets, delayed motor development, muscle weakness, pain and faster fractures.
If women do not get enough vitamin D during pregnancy, their children are at greater risk of developing rickets later in childhood. This risk is reduced if children get enough vitamin D after birth.
How do we ensure the optimal amount of vitamin D in toddlers?
Children need sunlight on their skin for their bodies to make vitamin D. This is how they get about 80% of their vitamin D. Our bodies make vitamin D when our skin is exposed to the sun. However, it is difficult to get enough vitamin D from the sun, as protecting the skin from UVA and UVB rays is important for little ones.
Very few foods contain vitamin D naturally. The foods that contain the most are fatty fish (such as salmon and tuna), liver, eggs and fish oil. Children do not eat much of this food. That's why food companies add vitamin D to milk, yogurt, baby formula, juice, cereal, and other foods. To get enough vitamin D, infants and children often need to take vitamin D supplements or a vitamin D supplement.
Babies under the age of 1 need 400 IU of vitamin D per day. If your baby is drinking only breast milk, talk to your healthcare provider about adding a vitamin D supplement to your baby.
DLux Infant contains 400 IU of vitamin D per spray in its formula.
