Query regarding use vitamin supplements
My baby is 51 days old, exclusively formula-fed, and drinks about 90 mL every 2.5 hours. The pediatrician has prescribed Uprise D3 0.5 mL once daily and Bevon 0.5 mL once daily.
Should I give both supplements? Could the vitamin D in the formula + Uprise D3 + Bevon result in excessive vitamin D intake? Please advise whether both supplements are necessary for an exclusively formula-fed baby.

Yes theoretically the dose is more than recommended as Bevon has 100 IU per 0.5 ml and upside D3 (800) has 400 IU per 0.5 ml. Although it should not cause any harm. Discuss this issue with your pediatrician.

Greetings
Exclusively formula-fed infants usually receive sufficient vitamin D from their daily intake if consuming over 500 mL, reducing the general need for routine, heavy multi-supplementation.
However, a combined prescription of Uprise D3 and Bevon drops could be intentionally selected by your pediatrician to treat a diagnosed or suspected micronutrient deficiency, or to provide additional support like zinc or specific B-vitamins found in Bevon.
Simultaneously combining multiple vitamin-D-containing drops alongside fortified infant formula increases the cumulative risk of exceeding the safe upper limits for an infant.

Most Formulas Are Fortified With Vitamins .
Check Formula Tin For Its Vit D Content .
Formula-fed babies: Usually get enough vitamin D from infant formula, provided they drink at least 32 ounces (about 1 liter) or roughly 500ml to a quart of fortified formula daily. If they drink less than that amount, a 400 IU supplement is still needed.
