Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), Ca, P, Mg and alkaline phosphatase levels of breast-fed infants and their mother were studied by following 100 healthy term mother-infant pairs with different supplementation protocols of vitamin D. A pilot study in winter revealed that 6 of 8 breast-fed infants without vitamin D supplementation had serum 25-OHD levels below the risk limit for rickets (5 ng/ml) at the age of 8 wk. In the main study in winter groups, it was found that the 25-OHD levels were low (5.6 .+-. 3.7 ng/ml) at the age of 8 wk in the unsupplemented breast-fed infants, whose mothers were given vitamin D supplementation of 1,000 IU/day during lactation (group I), compared with the levels of those infants receiving either 400 (18.0 .+-. 8.4 ng/ml, group II) or 1000 IU (22.8 .+-. 11.2 ng/ml, group III) vitamin D (group I vs. group II or III, P < 0.001; group II vs. group III, NS). In group I 10 of 18 infants had serum 25-OHD levels < 5 ng/ml compared with none of the infants in groups II and III. Yet the infants with 25-OHD levels < 5 ng/ml showed on signs of clinical or biochemical rickets at the age of 8 or 20 wk. In summer at delivery the maternal 25-OHD levels were good, but decreased thereafter. Also in summer groups, the infantile 25-OHD concentrations decreased; however, because the levels at delivery were high, they stayed in the normal range. In a country with scant sunlight in winter, breast feeding alone or with maternal supplementation of 1000 IU/day vitamin D may lead to very low 25-OHD levels in the child. A vitamin D supplement of 400 IU/day appears adequate for breast-fed infants during scarce exposure to sunlight.
