Significant correlation was found in our study. Correlation coefficient (r) was found to be -0.91602, and p = 0.0000 (<0.05). Significant correlation between 25-OH Vit D3 (1.30-26.92) and Alkpo4 (36-378) means low value of Sr.25-OH Vit D3 is associated with high Value of Sr.Alkpo4 or vice a versa Conclusions: Significant prevalence of 25 hydroxy vitamin D Deficiency is observed in exclusively breast fed neonates.
