Nutrients and vitamins in breastmilk are, generally speaking, all that your healthy baby needs in the first six months of life. Yet, you may exceptionally ask his doctor whether or not he needs vitamin D supplementation which is basically recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics due to babies’ little exposure to sunlight and insufficient intake of vitamin D from breastmilk.

Iron and other types of vitamins won’t be necessary in your baby’s early months, but might come into play when he’s old enough to switch from breastfeeding to complementary feeding.
