Vitamin D helps your baby develop strong bones. Sunlight can be a major source of vitamin D, but it is difficult to measure how much sunlight your baby is getting.

The amount of vitamin D should be continued throughout childhood and adolescence. You can buy vitamin D supplement for children in a drug store or grocery store.
