how much vitamin d should be given to 7 month baby

A. For a 7-month-old baby, the general recommendation for vitamin D is: Breastfed babies: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that breastfed babies receive 400 IU (International Units) of vitamin D daily, starting in the first few days of life. If your baby is exclusively breastfed, they may not be getting enough vitamin D from breast milk alone, so a supplement is typically advised. Formula-fed babies: If your baby is consuming 32 ounces or more of infant formula per day, they usually receive enough vitamin D from the formula. However, if they consume less, a supplement may still be necessary. You should consult your pediatrician to confirm the specific vitamin D needs of your baby, as they may have personalized recommendations.
