Introduction and Purpose: In pregnancy and breastfeeding, lack of exposure to sunlight and lack of vitamin D is a major health problem that causes lack of vitamin D levels in both mother’s milk and newborn baby. In our study, we aimed at researching the levels of vitamin D of nursing mothers and newborn babies, the relationship between the levels of serum vitamin D in mothers and the levels of vitamin D of newborn babies. Method and Requirements: 108 babies and mothers who were born at 37 and over the pregnancy week were included in the study. A survey form was created questioning the age of the mothers, their professions, whether they receive vitamin support during pregnancy, their daily milk and fish consumption, their clothing styles, and the periods of stay in the sun. Pregnancy mothers were taken in the pre-born saloon, and their babies were taken venous blood from the abdominal cord immediately after birth. The average level of vitamin D in mothers is 4.6 ± 2.7 ng/ml and the average level of vitamin D in babies is 5.2 ± 3.5 ng/ml. There was a meaningful correlation (p 0.05) between the mother's vitamin D value and the baby's vitamin D value. The study found high levels of vitamin D deficiency in mothers and newborn babies, while the levels of vitamin D in mothers and newborn babies were correlated. We believe that the timely diagnosis and treatment of the vitamin D deficiency of mothers can prevent the vitamin D deficiency that may develop in babies. Mothers candidates, mothers during pregnancy and breastfeeding, all babies should be provided with sufficient amount of vitamin D.
