Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. if the growth of the child is proper there is no need to give any health supplements or calcium or multivitamins to the child but if it is less than your doctor will examine and according to the deficiency the doctor will give medicine and tell till what time a supplement needs to be continued.
but it is at the same time advisable toz go natural by giving diet as per age of the child which contains all the important nutrients and supplements.
usually you have to give only iron and vitamin d supplezments to the child but that also in maintenance dosage and not as a deficiency dosage after medical consultation.
POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Breastfed or partially breastfed babies need 400 international units (IU) of liquid vitamin D a day — starting soon after birth. Babies should continue to receive this amount of vitamin D until weaned or until they drink 32 ounces (about 1 liter) a day of vitamin D-fortified formula or, after age 12 months, whole milk.
