Abstract
We collected information regarding vitamin D supplementation practices of 230 pediatricians through an online survey. Routine supplementation was being practiced during infancy, 1-5 y, 6-10 y, and >10-19 y age by 187 (81.3%), 60 (26.1%), 34 (14.8%) and 41 (17.8%) respondents, respectively. 182 (79%) participants promoted sunlight exposure, and 171 (74.3%) did not measure serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels before supplementation. The survey highlights that majority of pediatricians prescribe routine vitamin D supplementation during infancy, but not beyond.
