Weaning your baby is an important part of your child's development. As they move away from just milk to more solid foods, it's important to gradually introduce a range of different foods to ensure they receive all the vitamins and minerals they need to flourish.
One of these vital nutrients is Vitamin D, which is converted by the body from natural sunlight and is essential for your baby's bones and teeth. Most baby formulas do contain added vitamin D but as your baby drinks less milk and moves more towards solid food, it is important to ensure they are receiving adequate amounts of this crucial vitamin. Current NHS guidelines recommend that babies from birth to one year of age should take a daily vitamin D supplement containing 8.5-10 micrograms of Vitamin D.

With a base of extra virgin olive oil which aids absorption, the handy dropper enables you to easily add a daily dose directly into your baby's mouth or mix into their food or drink.
To get you started here is a tasty recipe for a nourishing first puree for your little one.
