Vitamin D dosage
My daughter is 7.5 months old. Her weight is 6.58 kg, height 67.2 cm, head circumference 41 cm. Roll over is complete. Able to sit with support.
Till now doctor had prescribed. 5ml of Kidrich Vitamin D 800 IU. Also, Zincovit 1ml was prescribed.
2 days ago, doctor changed Vitamin D dosage to 1ml and Zincovit to be continued.
My question is that 800 IU from Kidrich and 10 ug (400 IU) from Zincovit, total 1200 IU in a day, is it ok to give to baby?
She is also taking around 650ml of Enfamil stage 2 powder milk in a day, which also has Vitamin D.
