Ossopan d syrup
My son is 12 days old and doc prescribed ossopan d 5 ml 2 times a day.
Can we mix ossopan d syrup in mother milk and give it to baby?
Because the dose is 5ml and it's very dense, baby gets difficulty in swallowing it. Please suggest.

5 ml twice a day wuld be difficult for 12 day old baby to digest. U can consider vitanova D3 drops unless and until there is a indication for calcium supplements.
