In Canada, vitamin D supplementation was more common among exclusively breast-fed than other infants (e.g. 71 % <italic>v</italic>. 44 % at 6 months of age). Less than 2 % of infants in the USA and Australia received any vitamin D supplementation. Higher gestational age, older maternal age and longer maternal education were study-wide associated with greater use of vitamin D supplements.</p> </sec> <sec id="abs6" sec-type="conclusion"> <title>Conclusions</title> <p>Most of the infants received vitamin D supplements during the first 6 months of life in the European countries, whereas in Canada only half and in the USA and Australia very few were given supplementation.</p> </sec> </abstract>
