A. 0.7ml for 800 units 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. 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 vitamin d supplement. after 1 year of age vit d drops dosage is 0.7ml once a day from 800units vitamin d drops.

A. For initial six months it is going to be five drops twice in a day and after completing the age of six months like from 7 to the time of 12 months you’re going to give it 10 drops twice in a day and after the age of one year you can stop it and if you need to continue kindly check with your paediatrician all that
