Determine fat-soluble vitamins Recommended for Infant?
ICMR (1990) does not give recommendations for vitamins D, E and K. As you already know, vitamin D is expected to be met by sunlight exposure. Up to 300 IU/d of vitamin D should be ensured for optimal skeletal growth and dentition. Vitamin K shots are recommended only in premature infants or infants born after a complicated delivery. This is to combat primarily physiologic deficiency of vitamin K in the first few days of infancy. Vitamin E intake is related to, PUFA intake and is of little significance during infancy.
