Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. you have to continue vitamin d3 supplement(vitanova D3, kidrich) 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.

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. Okay so you’ll have to check with your paediatrician they’ll tell you which is going to be the right supplement in the replacement of the supplement that you have been giving to the child as you should not give any other supplement without taking an advice with your Doctor Who suggested you the previous one
