The Impact of Vitamin D Supplementation Duration on Early Childhood Developmental Milestones: A Retrospective Study

Extended Vitamin D supplementation is associated with modest yet significant advancements in key developmental milestones. However, socio-environmental factors, including parental involvement, likely contributed to these differences. This study's retrospective design limits causal interpretation, emphasizing the need for prospective, randomized studies to validate findings. These results support the potential benefits of extending Vitamin D supplementation beyond six months to optimize developmental outcomes in infants.
