Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. 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.
give 0.7ml per day
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. Vitamin D after 12 months should only be given to the child if your doctor is advising you to otherwise not so kindly consult your doctor if they suggest you that you need to give this supplement again to the child then you should go ahead with that otherwise not
