    Long-term clinical experience has confirmed that vitamin D400 U/d supplementation is a safe dose and can effectively prevent vitamin D deficiency and rickets in children. Infants fed with formula milk can get enough vitamin D through formula food that meets national standards, and when there is enough milk, no additional supplements are needed. Although increasing outdoor activities is beneficial to the skin's synthesis of vitamin D, considering the damage of ultraviolet rays to children's skin, it is currently not recommended for infants under 6 months to be exposed to direct sunlight. At the same time, children and teenagers should pay attention to sun protection when participating in outdoor activities.
