Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) >150 ng/ml

2018-06-02 15:44:44
My 75 days old baby has been having Vitamin D level of more than 150 ng/ml (report attached). Happened due to an incorrect dosage of Depura vitamin D3 oral solution (60000 IU) of 0.5 ml/day for the past two months. Post checking with the pediatrician in person, I was told that my babies behaviour and symptoms look normal and even though his vitamin D levels are high, we would just stop any kind of supplements and continue with the normal mother's feed. If at all there are any symptoms in the near future (like very frequent urination, not gaining weight, crying often) then I was told to pay a visit and can look forward for the treatment to reduce the levels. And also was advised to take tests post 2 months from now to check the level of vitamin D again. Can someone please let me know if this is the right way.
