ABSTRACT We previously reported a double blind randomized prospective study of 9 exclusively breast-fed infants without supplemental D (placebo, plac) and 9 exclusively breast-fed infants on
supplement of 400 IU D/d (suppl.); 12 infants were fed exclusively Similac 20 cal/oz (form). As reported, at 3 mos plac had significantly lower BMC (modified photon absorptiometry) and
serum 25-OH D. By 6 mos, serum 25-OHD had decreased and was still lower in plac vs suppl. (12.9±4.0 SE vs 32.7±4.1ng/ml. p<.01). BMC at 6 mos was 70±6, 75±5, and 94±7mg/cm for plac suppl.
and form; plac and suppl. did not differ; plac was less than form (p<.05). After 6 mos, the study was unblinded, infants received solids and breast-fed infants received 400 IU D/d. 10
form and 13 breast-fed infants were seen at 12 mos, when serum 25-OHD, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, Ca, P, Mg and alkaline phosphatase did not differ between plac and suppl. BMC at 12
mos was 120±19, 108±20, and 132±8mg/cm for plac, suppl. and form and did not differ; grps did not differ in wt, but plac was shorter (73.3±.38cm) than suppl. (75.8± .89cm, p<.1) or form
(75.8±0.32cm, p<.02); one way analysis of variance for 3 grps, p<.05. Thus, vitamin D supplements may be necessary for optimal bone mineralization in breast-fed infants but “catchup”
mineralization may occur in infants not given D initially. We speculate that D supplements may also be necessary for optimal body length in breast-fed infants. ARTICLE PDF AUTHOR INFORMATION
