Infant Nutrition: Are Your Newborn and Infant Patients Getting Enough Vitamin D and Iron?

  • Overview
  • Content


Date & Location
Friday, January 21, 2022, 8:00 AM - Tuesday, January 21, 2025, 9:00 AM

Overview

NOTICE:

Per our 3-year review policy, we’ve decided to maintain this lecture on CloudCME. This content may contain information that has since been updated.


The AAP recommends that infants get 400 IUs of vitamin D per day; fewer than 40% meet this guideline. Erica Schwab, RD, LDN, a clinical dietitian who supports the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, discusses: why most babies, whether breast- or formula-fed, need vitamin D supplementation; how to know when to stop supplementation; good sources of vitamin D for babies transitioning to solid food; why Vitamin D is vital to the health and growth of babies; a review of rickets (breast-fed, non-supplemented infants are at highest risk); and risk groups that may require additional vitamin D supplementation, including preemies. She also provides a review of iron guidelines, including: when to start and stop iron supplementation for breast-fed infants; tips for getting babies to take iron; how to take a dietary history to ascertain whether supplementation is needed; differences between U.S. and European formulas; where to refer for complicated cases; and more.
