Breastfed Babies Should Pay Attention to Vitamin D Absorption ​

Breastmilk provides the best nutrition for babies. Among the many nutrients, vitamin D is a fundamental nutrient in supporting babies’ bone growth and immunity^1,2. Moms should pay attention to the vitamin D intake of their babies (especially breastfed babies), because: ​

• According to the Department of Health, babies do not get much vitamin D from breastmilk in particular when their mothers have low vitamin D levels^1,5,6
• Studies have shown that breastmilk only meets about 5% of the daily vitamin D requirement of babies from 0-12 months on average^{7^^ ​}
• Study also shows that the risk of vitamin D deficiency in breastfed or mixed-fed babies is as high as 40 times^8## ​

 

Babies Need 400 IU Vitamin D Daily ​

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends breastfeeding and mixed-feeding babies to be supplemented with 400 IU of vitamin D^{10 ■}a day. NESTLÉ® NANCARE® DHA & Vitamin D Drops help fulfill 100% of baby's daily vitamin D needs. ​

DHA Content in Breastmilk Will Fluctuate Based On Mother’s Diet¹²  Babies Might Need Additional Supplement​

Early development of babies is an important stage of brain and vision development. A daily intake of 100 mg of DHA¹³ for babies aged 0-2 supports the normal development of babies’ vision and brain^3,4. The upgraded NESTLÉ® NANCARE® DHA & Vitamin D Drops contains DHA sourced from algae oil that helps to meet 100% of the baby's daily DHA needs^#

Upgraded NESTLÉ® NANCARE® DHA & Vitamin D Drops help fulfill 100% of baby’s Vitamin D and DHA daily needs easily when compared to other similar products in market.
