I've got a little one who's just turned 2 months and 15 days old, and I've heard something about giving babies vitamin D. Is it really necessary for my baby? Also, if it's needed, what other meds should I consider? I had a C-section, and my baby arrived a bit early at 8 months and 15 days, so I want to make sure I'm doing everything right. Any advice on what might be good to take would be appreciated!
