Bycalvit-B12 for new born
My son is 25 days old, and we have been giving him 1 ml of vitamin D3 drops once a day since his birth as per the doctor's prescription. However, today we consulted another doctor as he makes some noise while feeding. The new doctor prescribed another set of drops called Bycalvit-B12 and instructed us to administer 2.5 ml twice a day. When I checked the dosage details, I couldn't find any information specifically for newborns; it only mentions dosage information for children above 1 year. I have attached an image of the details. I'm concerned whether it's safe to give these drops to my 25-day-old son. Please help.

You have to give vitD3 drops 400 units per day for 6 months
So please check if 1 ml = 400 or 800 and give accordingly
