Most pediatricians and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that breastfed babies get supplemental vitamin D (400 IU). This is recommended because breastmilk is naturally low in Vitamin D (Wagner & Greer, 2008) and most infants are not exposed to enough sunlight to produce vitamin D themselves. A lack of vitamin D can cause a condition called nutritional rickets. Research finds that 400 IU of Vitamin D is associated with greater concentrations of Vitamin D in infants (Lin et al., 2022; Ruangkit et al., 2022)

Yet, only 20% of breastfed babies in the United States follow these guidelines (Simon & Ahrens, 2020). This may because is difficult to remember or difficult to administer a supplement to an infants, or because parents are nervous about giving any supplement to an infant.

But there is a great research-backed solution to this problem that many parents may not be aware of! Research finds that when breastfeeding mothers take a high dose Vitamin D supplement themselves (6400 IU) increased infants’ blood levels of Vitamin D to an adequqte level (that is, they had the same levels of Vitamin D as the infants who took a 400 IU Vitamin D supplement) (Hollis et al., 2015). Further research found that most mothers (88%) prefer supplementing themselves rather than giving vitamin D to their baby (Umaretiya, et al., 2017).

This approach has the benefits of making sure the breastfeeding mother also avoids a Vitamin D deficiency herself. It also is easier for the mother to take a Vitamin D pill than administering a liquid Vitamin D supplement to an infant. It also removes possible dangers of Vitamin D overdose in an infant (see Ketha, Wadams, Lteif, & Singh, 2015). However, you should consult with your doctor before trying this yourself!

TRANSLATION:Vitamin D supplementation is important for breastfed infants in order to avoid a Vitamin D deficiency. If you do not want to give your baby a supplement, breastfeeding mothers can ask their doctor about taking a 6400 IU Vitamin D supplement themselves.

As a pediatric dietitian, I feel we need more education (and guidelines) around critical nutrients for babies in the first year of life and into the early years of their development.

In the first 1,000 days, nutrition is enormously important to brain development. One nutrient I like to see get more attention is docosahexaenoic acid, otherwise known as DHA.

DHA is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid.

It helps with brain functioning in many ways, such as sending messages throughout the brain (called neurotransmission) and growing new connections and pathways for those messages (called neurogenesis).

DHA is also a critical nutrient for eye development. It acts as a structural building block of the retina, helping with your baby’s visual acuity.

The brain is lipid rich. In other words, it’s full of fat, especially long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Of those brain PUFAs, DHA is the most significant fatty acid.

The good thing is, babies are born with stores of DHA in their brain, which accumulate during pregnancy, mostly from the stores of the mother.

During early infancy, rapid accumulation of DHA in the brain persists.

The frontal and prefrontal lobes are most influenced by DHA. The frontal lobe is responsible for focus and attention, planning and problem solving, both of which are executive functioning skills.

The prefrontal lobe is tied to social, emotional and behavioral development. Researchers believe that optimal levels of DHA, particularly in the frontal and prefrontal areas of the brain, are very important during the early years when the brain is rapidly growing and developing.

Do you have a plan for DHA for your little one?

To be able to identify a reading problem in their child, parents need to have a sense of the milestones of early literacy. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s literacy development, talk with your child’s doctor, teacher, or a speech and language specialist. The sooner your child gets the help they need, the easier it will be for your child to learn.

Most of the time you just feed the kids and enjoy food. Sometimes an opportunity opens up for us to tell kids what foods do in their body. We share this because all they hear other places is “these foods are healthy”—which can contribute to a poor relationship with food, and it doesn’t mean much!⁠
⁠
Rather than use a broad term that doesn’t mean much, we can give them information that’s useful!⁠

Connections between math and children’s worlds, connections between math and other content areas, and connections between math content areas can all ensure that children have a better understanding and more positive feelings about math. During play, provide opportunities for your child to make connections between math content and what the child already knows about the world around them.

Here are some examples of connections during play and what you, as a caregiver, can do to support it.
