Supplementation guidelines
For babies: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) currently recommends that babies younger than 12 months old need 400 IU of vitamin D per day beginning soon after birth
AAP guidelines specify that exclusively or partially breastfed infants, and non-breastfed infants who consume less than 32 ounces a day of formula, should be supplemented with 400 IU of vitamin D daily
For children: The AAP recommends that toddlers, older children, and adolescents need 600 IU of vitamin D each day. Even though the body produces vitamin D from sunlight, studies show that many children still aren’t getting enough of this essential vitamin from the sun alone.
AAP recommendations for identifying and mitigating food insecurity
Sixteen million children in the US experience food insecurity, which is known to increase the risk of illness, hospitalization, mental health issues, and poor academic performance.1 The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that pediatricians familiarize themselves with local and community resources so they can easily refer patients to WIC, SNAP, school nutrition programs, local food pantries, summer feeding programs, etc.1
The AAP also recommends implementing a simple two-question screening tool1:
1. Within the past 12 months, did you worry that your food would run out before you got money to buy more? (Yes or No)
2. Within the past 12 months, did you find that the food you bought didn’t last and that you didn’t have money to get more? (Yes or No)
