3 REASONS YOUR BABY IS PRONE TO VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY

  • Babies with darker skin
  • Sunlight is easily absorbed in lighter skin tones this is because the melanin in darker skin tones blocks the sun.

  • Babies who are only breastfed
  • Breastmilk is great for the babies growth and development but one thing breastmilk does not have enough of is Vitamin D.

  • Living where exposure to sunlight is minimal
  • If you live in a northern area where the sun exposure is little,  your baby may not     meets its Vitamin D needs.
