What is vitamin D and why does my baby need it?

• Sometimes called the 'sunshine vitamin', vitamin D is produced when your skin is exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus to build healthy bones, teeth and muscles. It is important for your baby to have adequate levels of vitamin D so he can grow strong bones and healthy teeth and enamel.

Your little one depends on you for the very best nutrition

• While experts agree breast milk has beneficial nutrients for your baby, breast milk is low in vitamin D, an important nutrient for healthy bones and teeth. As your baby hits a growth spurt or gets older and transitions to solids, be sure he’s getting the essential nutrients he needs.
• Both moms and pediatricians have trusted Enfamil liquid vitamin supplements for generations, that's why Enfamil offers a complete family of vitamins to help meet baby and mom’s nutritional needs.
• Vitamin drops may be given by dispensing directly into the mouth or mixed with breastmilk, formula, fruit juice, cereal or other foods
• Vitamins A, C and D are important for supporting growth and immune system development
• Enfamil D-Vi-Sol, Tri-Vi-Sol, and Poly-Vi-Sol all meet the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation of 400 IU of vitamin D per day
