Patient's question:
I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. How long should infants and young children take vitamin D?Doctor's answer:
Not all newborns need vitamin D supplementation. The purpose of supplementing vitamin D is to promote the child's absorption of calcium. Most newborns are breastfed, and various nutrients can meet the child's developmental needs. Once the child can be held outdoors, they can frequently be exposed to sunlight to increase the child's own synthesis of vitamin D, thereby promoting calcium absorption.
