Our new, all-natural, liquid vitamin D supplement gives your baby the all-natural vitamin D they need. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends all breastfed babies receive a vitamin D supplement beginning the first few days of life. Vitamin D is vital to healthy bones and teeth and performs many important functions. Breast milk alone may not contain adequate amounts of it, so the AAP recommends that all infants receive 400 IU of vitamin D daily. Experts tell us that much of our life-long health is pre-programmed in childhood and many adult health problems can be traced to nutrition during childhood. A child’s vitamin D level appears to be a prime example.

Sun’s Natural Vitamin
Vitamin D comes from the sun, but sun exposure is not recommended for babies under six months of age. And sun exposure is sometimes a sticking point to begin with – and not just because of skin cancer fears. The hard part is figuring out the amount of time your kids need to spend in the sun in order to maintain sufficient vitamin D levels. That’s because there are a lot of things that affect our ability to make vitamin D – things like the degree of skin pigmentation, change of seasons, sunscreen use, clothing cover-up and latitude.
Give Your Kids the Best
With everything that we moms have to worry about, don’t leave vitamin D up to chance. Go with what the AAP recommends – a supplement of 400 IU per day of vitamin D for your baby beginning in the first few days of life and continuing through the first year.
Studies have shown that about 60 percent of children may have below optimal levels of vitamin D (at or below 20 ng/ml) and one in ten U.S. children are deficient (levels below 15 ng/ml) and should be treated with supplements.
UpSpring Baby Vitamin D3 Drops Common Questions
What is the dosage? According to the Office of Dietary Supplements, for kids 1 to 8 years old, the safe upper limit is 2,500 to 3,000 IU each day. For reference, our Vitamin D Drops contain 400 IUs of Vitamin D per serving. We recommend that you always consult with your pediatrician with any dosage questions.
How does Baby D taste? There is no taste in UpSpring Baby D. We use only two all natural ingredients, D3 and fractionated coconut oil, so our drops are free of taste and odor.
Is Baby D vegan? No. The all natural Vitamin D3 that we use is derived from sheep’s wool. If you are looking for a vegan D alternative you would need to use D2.
