Upon studying for IBCLC/2002 in 1993 edition of "Caring for Your Baby and
Young Child - Birth to Age 5" by Steven P. Shelov, it is stated that
breastmilk does not contain enough vitamin D for babies. It is recommended
that if living in a warm climate, baby may be taken out in sunshine several
times a week to produce all vitamin D baby needs. "A total of fifteen minutes
of sunshine a week is sufficient for light-skinned children." If
dark-skinned, living in a cold climate, premature, or having certain medical
problems then supplemental vitamin D drops are recommended beginning at birth
till weaned.
