Is it safe to give my 11month baby( vitamin d) drops in winter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe and wise: Babies need vit d just as much as adults- probably even more as it is essential for bone growth ; immune function. The vitamin d council recommends infants get 1000- 2000 iu of d a day in winter months (and year-round if your baby does not get adequate mid-day sun).
