Forgot to give vitamin D syrup
My baby is 5 weeks old and mistakenly i stopped giving him calcium and Vit D syrup 2 weeks back. Can i start giving him both again and for how long i have to give him these syrup? Will there be a problem as i haven’t given him these syrup since last 2 weeks. He is active and taking breastfeed properly. He is exclusively breastfeed and i'm not giving any formula milk.
