Nowadays, rickets is only an issue for breastfed babies. We can't produce vitamin D. Pediatricians recommend to keep baby out of the sun until six months. So they usually have to take a supplement until they start eating solids and spending 30 min or more outside. If you wear sunscreen, you don't get the vitamin D.

While I agree with most of this, I believe that it is recommended that people take vit d supplements daily at all ages, unless they spend the entire day outside. Naked. With no sunscreen (not recomended either though). Otherwise you can use more.
