Vit D3 drops 400IU/ml after 1 year age

2023-05-04 12:08:11
Hello Doctor, My child is 14 months old. Pediatrician suggested to give vitamin D3 drops 400IU/ml even after 1 year as he said many babies lack Vit D so can give even after 1 year and give upto 2 years. So in 13th month I gave 1 ml of D3 drops and now I'm giving 1.5 ml (as per doctor Suggested) to my kid. Now he's in 15th month. My doubt is: Is it fine to give vitamin D3 drops even after 1 year because many pediatricians suggestion is to give upto 1 year of age. Please suggest, thank you.
