Caring for your baby includes making efforts to get them exposed to vitamin D, which is essential for proper bone formation.  For babies who have limited sunlight exposure, parents are advised by pediatricians to give them vitamin supplements to prevent them from contracting rickets. Research shows that babies and mother who have a comparatively darker skin require adequate exposure to sunlight to enable them to get enough Vit D. Additionally, the other source of vitamin-D for babies is the reserves they maintain after birth. Our studies show that pregnant and lactating mothers should be encouraged more often to boost their vitamin intake.
