Health Canada recommends that all breastfed healthy term infants in Canada receive a daily supplement of Vitamin D to ensure adequate bone health and prevent rickets. Vitamin B12 and B11 are important for neurological function and red blood cell formation but are not routinely recommended for breastfed infants unless there is a specific deficiency or risk factor. Vitamin B1 is also important for neurological function but can be obtained through a variety of foods and is not typically supplemented unless there is a deficiency.
