My pediatrician recommended 800UI of vitamin D to my 5.5 month old baby. I could not find 800UI because of lockdown scarcity in my area but got 400 UI . Can I give 400UI twice?

A. hi please don't self medicate your child it can be harmful . always consult your pediatrician before giving any type of medicine. and if your child looks happy healthy and active, gains enough weight then no need of extra medicines.
