Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. you have to continue vitamin d3 supplement till you are not able to take the child in sunlight.
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 isf that you have to keep the child in sunlight for at least half an hour 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

Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children3 years agoA. The best way to get vitamin D is letting the child play in sun for atleast 20 minutes a day. Some foods like egg yolk, mushrooms, fish are also good in vitamin D. Or if u r worried the child may need a supplement please consult with your doctor and get some medicine prescribed.
