Calmax syrup for preterm baby
I have a doubt regarding the dosage of calmax syrup that should be given to my baby who is 2 months old and weighs 4 kg, he was born at a preterm at 36 weeks and was around 1.78 kg.
Till when do I need to give calmax syrup and what is the dosage for the same.
Kindly suggest if there are any other alternative drops for the same, as he is not liking the syrup.

As the syrup calmax contain both calcium with vitamin d, this should be supplemented till the baby reaches 1 year.
Also, correct age of the baby should be known as the baby is born preterm
Next Steps
If baby is not interested in calmax syrup
U can try Vitamin d3 drops & calcimax p separately
Vitd3 drops 1ml = 800IU should be given daily as the baby is preterm
