Having a newborn at home is really exciting! As a parent, you will definitely want to know how to keep your baby healthy and strong, and vitamin D is often mentioned as a recommended nutritional supplement, but how to supplement vitamin D for infants and young children is better? The latest papers provide a good reference, so keep reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Published in 2021 on"The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism"<\/em>published apaper<\/a>, whose research team collected detailed information on 812 full-term infants and their mothers, and randomly assigned these infants vitamin D supplementation doses to 400 IU per day (currently recommended supplementation dose) or 1200 IU (high-dose supplementation). ), the supplementation period starts from 2 weeks to 2 years old, and the research team will conduct a complete follow-up at 1 and 2 years old. It will measure the concentration of 25-OH-Vitamin D in the blood of the child and record the Growth situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After analyzing the research data, the research team found that the blood 25-OH-Vitamin D concentration of the children in the high-dose supplementation group (1200 IU\/day) was significantly higher than that in the normal-dose supplementation group (400 IU\/day); Compared with the normal-dose supplementation group, the children in the high-dose supplementation group had slower growth in length and head circumference from 6 months to 1 year old, and faster growth in weight from 1 to 2 years old; In addition, it is worth noting that if the blood concentration of 25-OH-Vitamin D is used as a group, the growth of the group with the highest blood concentration is shorter and lighter than that of the group with the lowest concentration (even after measuring the body length). Correction).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on the above research results and previous research data, it can be seen that the vitamin D supplement dosage and the growth status of infants and young children may have an inverted U-shaped relationship with each other, which means:Infants and toddlers may have poorer growth with vitamin D supplementation at too high or too low doses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The author believes that since the vitamin D intake (1200 IU\/day) higher than the recommended amount has no obvious benefit in the research, it is clinically inappropriate.High-dose vitamin D supplementation is not specifically recommended for infants and young children<\/strong>. But to remind all novice parents, since the vitamin D content in breast milk is not high (5~136 IU\/L, due to the content in the mother\u2019s body),If infants and young children are exclusively breastfed, it is still recommended to supplement 400 IU of vitamin D daily before one year old<\/strong>; and if infants and young children are fed with formula milk, since formula milk already contains a certain proportion of vitamin D, when the daily intake of formula milk reaches 1 liter, infants and young children can reach the target intake of about 400 IU of vitamin D per day , In other words, if the daily intake of formula milk has not reached 1 liter, it is still recommended to supplement vitamin D in an appropriate amount.
