Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Vitamin D?
ℹ️General Overview
For infants (0–6 months) I recommend being cautious. Small amounts of vitamin D in everyday skincare products are unlikely to be harmful, but some countries limit its use in cosmetics, and babies’ skin can absorb more than older children’s skin.
✅What to Do
Only use a product that contains vitamin D on a newborn or baby if your pediatrician recommends it. If a doctor prescribes a medicated vitamin D ointment, use exactly as directed. For regular baby lotions and creams, choose products without added vitamin D if you want to be extra careful. Always test a small area first, avoid broken skin, and don’t apply near the baby’s mouth or eyes.
⚠️Warnings
Regulatory authorities in some places have limits or restrictions on topical vitamin D in cosmetics (Health Canada; European cosmetics rules). Because of those restrictions, avoid products that list high concentrations of vitamin D or are marketed as strong topical vitamin D treatments for babies unless directed by your child’s healthcare provider. Stop use and call your pediatrician if the baby develops a rash, swelling, unusual fussiness, poor feeding, or vomiting after using a product.
