Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Breast milk contains plenty of vitamin C. You do not need to take extra vitamin C supplements, and you do not have to supplement your breastfed baby with vitamin C. 5 Even if you don’t take any additional vitamin C, your breast milk will still have two times more than the recommended amount.
Detailed explanation-2: -Breast milk alone does not provide infants with an adequate amount of vitamin D. Shortly after birth, most infants will need an additional source of vitamin D.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamins A, D, E, and K, are all vital to the infant’s health. Water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin C, riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid are also essential.
