How many IU of vitamin D does an infant need daily?

A. 200 IU
B. 400 IU
C. 600 IU
D. 800 IU

The correct answer is: B. 400 IU

Infants need 400 IU of vitamin D daily for proper growth and development. This amount is recommended to ensure they receive an adequate intake, especially if they are exclusively or partially breastfed. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in bone health and immune function, making it essential for infants' overall well-being. It is important for breastfeeding mothers to be aware of this recommendation and to ensure their infants receive the appropriate supplementation to support their health.
