Vitamin related queries
I give my child Vitamin D3 drops every day at 1:30 PM. However, if the child happens to be asleep at that time, can I give the drops a little earlier or later?

Yes, you can safely shift the timing of the Vitamin D3 drops to a little earlier or later. What matters most for your child's bone development and growth is consistency in the daily dosage, not the exact hour it is administered. If the child is asleep at 1:30 PM, simply give the drops before their nap or when they wake up. Ideally, try to give the vitamin D3 drops alongside a feed or meal, as it is a fat-soluble vitamin and absorbs much better with food
