The dose of vit D to be given is 400 IU daily. As you have given 800IU you can pause for 4-5 days and restart again.
Check the formulation while you are giving. The dose you have given is unlikely to cause any problem so you need not worry but monitor if your baby is not taking feeds well, vomiting, lethargic.
