OTHER USEFUL DETAILS REGARDING FUN-D3 DROPS:
Why need vitamin D3 for infant and breastfed babies? Infants who are exclusively breastfed but who do not receive supplemental vitamin D3 or adequate sunlight exposure are at increased risk of developing vitamin D3 deficiency and/or rickets7,10−12,14,18,81. Infants with darker pigmentation are at greater risk of vitamin D3 deficiency.131
Sunlight exposure and vitamin D3: Historically, the main source of vitamin D3 has been via synthesis in the skin from cholesterol after exposure to UV-B light. The multitude of factors that affect vitamin D3 synthesis by the skin,27 the most important of which is degree of skin pigmentation, make it difficult to determine what is adequate sunshine exposure for any given infant or child.97−99 However, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advises that infants younger than six months avoid exposure to direct sunlight due to skin cancer risk.
