#asktheexpert what is the best time to give d3 drops for a 2 month old baby?

A. The best time to give Vitamin D3 drops to your 2-month-old baby is usually during or after a feed. Vitamin D is fat-soluble, meaning it is better absorbed when taken with a source of fat, such as breast milk or formula. Key Points: 1. Consistency is Key: Try to give the drops at the same time each day to establish a routine. 2. With a Feed: Give the drops during or immediately after a feeding session, as the fat in the milk helps with absorption. 3. Avoid Overdose: Ensure you're giving the correct dosage as per your pediatrician’s advice. Overdosing on Vitamin D can cause harm. 4. Administering the Drops: Use the dropper provided with the Vitamin D3 supplement and place the recommended number of drops directly on your baby’s tongue or mix it with a small amount of milk. Always follow the specific guidelines from your pediatrician or the instructions on the Vitamin D3 bottle. If you’re unsure, it’s a good idea to check with your pediatrician for personalized advice.
