Recorded sources
6 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that exclusively breastfed babies need daily vitamin D supplement drops?

Yes. The CDC states that breastfed infants need an additional source of vitamin D through a supplement, and several other sources (a Sri Lankan study, AAP-based books, and a cohort study) recommend 400 IU daily for exclusively breastfed infants.
