What Experts Say

Pediatricians in Pakistan commonly recommend Vitamin D drops like Sunny D for breastfed infants, since breast milk alone often does not provide enough Vitamin D for healthy bone growth. A daily dose of 400 IU is the standard amount suggested for most babies starting from the first weeks of birth.

Doctors usually advise placing the drops directly in the baby's mouth or mixing them into a small amount of milk or formula, and giving the dose at the same time each day to build a routine. Vitamin D works closely with calcium, so it plays a key role in preventing soft or weak bones during early childhood growth.

Health experts caution against giving more than the recommended dose, since too much Vitamin D over time can lead to unsafe calcium levels in the blood. Parents are generally advised to use the dropper provided and to consult a pediatrician before adjusting the dose for a specific child.
