A. thank you fa your ans...At what time I keep my child in sunlight ?

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl3 years ago

A. 5.5 is the safest level actually so I would say you should keep your child into indirect sunlight every day for at least 40 to 60 minutes that’s going to help in proper absorption of vitamin D and hopefully should not increase again and also give and give a supplement of vitamin D to the child for at least one year after word that is mandatoryWrite Your Answer Here
