A. you have to continue vitamin d3 supplement till you are not able to take the child in sunlight for at least 10 minutes daily. before 1 year of age : if you are giving 400 units you have to give 1ml everyday and if you're giving 800 units you have to give 0.5 ml everyday. x the thing is that you have to keep the child in sunlight for at least 10 to 15 minutes daily between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for proper vitamin d exposure. so if you are able to take the child in sunlight you can stop vitamixn d supplement. after 1 year of age vit d drops dosage is 0.7ml once a day from 800units vitamin d drops.
