Vitamin D3 and Multivitamin Drops
My baby is 6 months old and has been taking PIC-D3 for vitamin D3 supplementation. However, this product is currently unavailable in the market. Could you please recommend the best alternative vitamin D3 drops for my baby? Additionally, we are using A to Z drops as a multivitamin supplement. Kindly advise if A to Z drops are suitable for a 6-month-old infant or suggest a better option if available.

D3 must and ultra D3 drops are alternatives. These are recommended till 1 year of age. A to Z drops have other vitamins which are not routinely recommended. So you can stop them if you wish. They are not found to be beneficial in a normal well child.
Iron supplements are needed after 6 months as iron deficiency is very common. Please visit a pediatrician for prescription
