Question

The baby was found to be deficient in vitamin D shortly after birth. Should supplementation continue?

Answer

Excess vitamin D can have side effects, especially in young children, so treatment must be cautious. It is recommended to have another check-up at the hospital. If no deficiencies are found, it is not advisable to supplement further. You can have the baby checked at a reputable hospital and start supplementing cod liver oil after one month, continuing until the child is over two years old. Meanwhile, maintaining good hygiene habits and getting plenty of sunlight will help restore normal levels.
