VitD supplementation per AAP guidelines resulted in acceptable serum 25-hydroxyVitD levels, but no improvement in BMD or BMC compared to previously reported values. However, infants receiving recommended amounts born at earlier GA and lower BW are at increased risk of NC. VitD supplementation and serum levels should be closely monitored in this high-risk population. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
