A. For a newborn, Vitamin D3 supplementation is typically recommended, especially if they are not getting enough exposure to sunlight or are exclusively breastfed. The general recommendation for infants is 400 IU of Vitamin D3 daily, which helps in the development of strong bones and prevents rickets. Guidelines: Breastfed babies usually need a supplement of 400 IU of Vitamin D3 per day from the first few days of life, as breast milk does not provide enough. If your baby is formula-fed, they might not need additional Vitamin D if they are consuming enough formula, as many formulas are fortified with Vitamin D. Always consult your pediatrician before starting any supplementation to ensure the appropriate dosage based on your baby's specific health needs.
