A to Z drops for newborn
Hello doctor,
My baby boy is 2 months old (8weeks). Baby was given A TO Z DROPS from 5th day. Doctor had prescribed 0.5ml twice a day. It means 1ml per day. But if we look at the label of syrup they have 1ml shd be given bw 6-12months babies.
So, does it mean we have given overdose to baby. I am really worried. I hope multivitamin overdose won't harm baby. What shall I do?
Shd I stop drops for few days or for month to reduce the effect?
"I am exclusively breastfeeding the baby".

In your question you created confusion, you said doctor has prescribed drops, and you mentioned you saw label of syrup. Drops you can continue in same dose

Its fine. U can give 1ml for less than 6 months also. No problem. Give for 3 months and stop. Only vitamin D drops are enough for a normal weight baby.
