It has been known since the early 1800's that a dose of cod liver oil successfully remedied the manifestations of nutritional rickets. Seems that Vitamin D3 is the active ingredient in cod liver oil, so adding a dose each day helped the children of the time avoid rickets. According to the Mayo Clinic definition, Rickets is the softening and weakening of bones in children, usually because of an extreme and prolonged vitamin D deficiency.
Along with calcium and magnesium, vitamin D is crucial for strong bones and teeth. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics recently increased its recommended daily intake of vitamin D from 200 IU to 400 IU for infants and toddlers. The Mayo Clinic recommends that you supplement your baby's nutrition even if you are breast-feeding with 400IU's of Vitamin D3.
Vitamin D3 is easily absorbed and available in natural supplement as well as sunshine, liver, cod, herring and sardines. Most children do not want to eat the liver, herring or sardines. And if you live north of a line between Atlanta and LA, you do not get enough sun to make Vitamin D. So adding supplemental natural Vitamin D3 is necessary.
