A. yes 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 betweens 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 ages vit d drops dosage is 0.7ml once a day from 800units vitamin d drops.

A. Yes it is very important that you give it to the child you can easily give it in indirect sunlight for 30 to 40 minutes but do not discontinue with vitamin D supplement it would be recommended to you to give it to your child for at least one year of age after that you can discontinue
