Enfamil D-Vi-Sol Vitamin D Drops for Infants, 50 mL (Pack of 3)

What is vitamin D and why is it important for babies?

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays a fundamental role in the healthy development of babies. It contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, two key minerals for the formation of strong bones and teeth. In addition, vitamin D is involved in the normal functioning of the immune system, helping to protect little ones. Babies exclusively breastfed are at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency, as breast milk contains limited amounts of this vitamin. Therefore, the Spanish Association of Pediatrics recommends daily supplementation of 400 IU of vitamin D from birth.

Benefits of vitamin D for babies' health

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin D contributes to:

• The normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus.
• The maintenance of normal blood calcium levels.
• The maintenance of bones under normal conditions.
• The normal functioning of muscles.
• The normal functioning of the immune system.

These benefits are especially important during the first months of life, when bone growth and immune development are most active. Adequate vitamin D intake helps ensure that your baby has healthy bone development and an immune system prepared to face daily challenges.

How much vitamin D do babies need? Recommended dose

The recommended daily dose for infants aged 0 to 12 months is 400 IU (10 µg) of vitamin D, according to clinical practice guidelines. This amount is sufficient to meet the daily needs of a healthy baby, especially those who receive exclusive breastfeeding or have limited sun exposure. Enfamil D-Vi-Sol provides exactly 400 IU per dose (1 mL), making it easy to administer the optimal amount each day. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose without consulting a pediatrician, as excessive vitamin D levels can be harmful. For formula-fed babies, check the amount of vitamin D already contained in the formula to adjust supplementation if necessary. According to studies, 66% of babies aged 4 to 6 months do not consume the 400 IU of vitamin D needed through formula, so supplementation is key.

How to choose the best vitamin D supplement for your baby

When selecting a vitamin D supplement for your baby, it is important to consider purity, ease of use, and the absence of unnecessary allergens. Enfamil D-Vi-Sol is a reliable option because:

• It contains no artificial colors or flavors.
• It is gluten-free.
• It comes in a practical dropper that allows the exact dose to be administered directly into the baby's mouth or mixed with breast milk, formula, juice, or cereals.
• It is endorsed by Enfamil, the most recommended brand of pediatric vitamins by pediatricians.

In addition, being a liquid, it is easy to incorporate into the baby's daily routine. Each 50 mL bottle contains approximately 50 doses, so a pack of 3 provides a supply for 150 days. This ensures that you do not run out of the product for several months.

How to use and recommendations

Shake the bottle well before use. Use the included dropper to dispense 1 mL (which corresponds to 400 IU) once a day. You can administer it directly into the baby's mouth, or mix it with a little breast milk, formula, juice, or cold food. Do not mix it with hot liquids. Once opened, the product is stored at room temperature and should be used within 30 days. Always consult your pediatrician before starting any supplementation.

This product is a food supplement and should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of younger children.
