A. Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all infants, including formula-fed babies, receive a vitamin D supplement. The current recommendation is 400 international units (IU) of vitamin D per day for infants.For a 6-month-old formula-fed baby, it's essential to check the vitamin D content in the formula. If the formula already provides 400 IU of vitamin D per day, additional supplementation may not be necessary. However, if the formula does not contain vitamin D or provides less than 400 IU, your pediatrician may recommend a vitamin D supplement.Always consult with your child's healthcare provider before starting any supplements, as they can provide personalized advice based on your baby's health, diet, and specific circumstances.
