Vitamin D3
My baby is 5 months old. I have been giving her vitamin D3 drops of 1ml. Now that she has completed 5 months should I increase the quantity? If so how much should I give her.

The dose in infancy is 400 IU in a day. There are a multitude of Vitamin D formulations today in the market .. so rather than checking dose in ml.. ensure the above-mentioned dose is being given to the baby. Also regular well baby visits while attending for vaccinations are a good time to explore all these concerns.
