POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. For a one-year-old child, it's great that you're supporting her health with vitamins. Here's a simple guide to understand what she needs and whether she should continue both:
✅ Common Supplements for a One-Year-Old:
Vitamin D3 (like Kidreds D3):
Important for bone and immune health. Most doctors recommend continuing vitamin D3 drops or syrup until at least 2 years of age, especially if the child doesn’t get enough sunlight.
Multivitamin (A to Z):
Usually contains vitamins A, C, B-complex, iron, and other nutrients.
It’s useful if:
Your baby is a picky eater Has low appetite or nutrient gaps in diet Was born premature or had a low birth weight
You can continue giving it once daily if your pediatrician recommends it.
⚠️ What You Should Do: Do not give extra doses. One dose of each (multivitamin + D3) is enough. Ask your doctor during routine check-ups whether both are still needed, especially if your child is eating well now.
Let me know the brand names or exact drops/syrup names if you'd like me to check the ingredients for safety and compatibility.
