Hello
These supplements are commonly prescribed for babies with slightly low birth weight or when exclusive breastfeeding is practiced. They are safe in the current doses, but review is necessary every 2–3 months to ensure continued need.
Vitamin D3 (Uprise D3): Exclusively breastfed babies are at risk of
Vitamin D deficiency, as breast milk alone may not provide enough. Supplementation of 400 IU/day is widely recommended.
Calcium + Phosphorus (Calcimax P): Provides support for bone growth and mineralization, especially if there were concerns regarding low birth weight or nutritional gaps. It also complements the effect of Vitamin D.
Bevon (Multivitamin syrup): A multivitamin syrup that usually includes B-complex, Vitamin A, C, D, and E. This supports general growth and may be given if there’s concern about micronutrient insufficiencies.
there is some nutrient overlap between:
Bevon and Uprise D3 (both may provide Vitamin D),
Calcimax P and Bevon (both may include Vitamin D and minerals).
However, the doses prescribed here appear to be within the tolerable upper limits for infants if continued short-term and monitored.
Next Steps
Vitamin D3: Continue until at least 12 months of age, or as long as the baby is not getting adequate
Vitamin D from diet/sunlight.
Calcimax P: Usually reviewed after 2–3 months based on weight gain and growth parameters.
Bevon: Short-term (around 1–2 months) use may be sufficient if there’s no deficiency.
A follow-up with your Pediatrician around 6 months of age (when solids are introduced) can help reassess the need.
