New vitamin D recommendations from American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Oct, 2008:
“ All infants, children, adolescents should get at least 400IU a day.” The revised guidelines recommend “Breast and partially breastfed infants be supplemented with 400 IU per day of vitamin D starting within the first few days of life.”, which replaced a previous guideline that recommended for a minimum daily intake of 200 IU of vitamin D starting in the first two months of life.” |
