Description

Vitamin D for babies and young children

Vitamin D is needed for normal growth and development of bone in children, and contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Each 0.5ml dose provides 10mcg (400 IU) of vitamin D3, the form of vitamin D the body makes naturally in sunlight.

The Department of Health recommendation

The UK Department of Health recommends that babies from birth to one year have a daily supplement containing 8.5 to 10mcg of vitamin D, and that children from one to four years have a daily supplement containing 10mcg. Babies having 500ml or more of infant formula a day may not need a supplement, because formula already has vitamins added.

Easy to give

A measuring dropper is included, marked at the 0.5ml daily dose. For young babies, the drops are given one at a time onto the nipple or bottle teat so they can suckle each drop. From six months, they can be added straight into your child's usual milk or water.

FAQ

What should I do if I forget a dose?

Don't give extra to make up for it. Give the usual 0.5ml at the next normal time and carry on as before. Never give more than the recommended amount in a day. If you are unsure, speak to our pharmacy team.

Does my baby need vitamin D drops if they have formula?

It depends how much. Babies having 500ml or more of infant formula a day may not need a vitamin D supplement, as formula already contains added vitamins. Babies who are breastfed, or having less than 500ml of formula a day, are recommended a daily vitamin D supplement. Ask your health visitor or pharmacist if you are unsure.

Can I give these alongside another vitamin supplement?

Check with your pharmacist first. Many children's multivitamins already contain vitamin D, and giving two products together could mean your child gets more than the recommended amount.

How long does a bottle last?

Sixty days at the recommended 0.5ml once a day. Once opened, use within 3 months.

Why shouldn't I rinse the dropper?

The drops are oil based, so water can get into the bottle and affect the liquid. Wipe the dropper with a dry, clean tissue instead, and keep it away from your baby's mouth and other surfaces.

Directions

Give to your child orally. Give 0.5ml once daily, as marked on the dropper. Do not give more than the recommended amount.

  • Babies 0 to 6 months: administer the liquid drop by drop onto the nipple or bottle teat, and allow baby to suckle each drop.
  • Infants 6 months to 4 years: add drops directly into your baby's usual milk or water.

Measuring dropper: draw out 0.5ml of liquid as marked on the dropper.

Important usage information:

  • Keep the dropper away from the infant's mouth and any surfaces.
  • Avoid exposing the dropper to water. If contact occurs, do not rinse with water; instead, clean it with a dry, clean tissue.
  • Do not use if the bottle seal is broken on purchase.
  • Replace the bottle cap tightly after use.

Store below 25°C in a dry place, out of sight and reach of children. Once opened, use within 3 months.
