Question

The baby boy is almost nine months old, and he has been taking D3 since 15 days after birth. Concerned about the possibility of rickets, I am asking whether he needs calcium supplementation and other measures.

Answer

Based on your description, the baby has been taking Vitamin D3 since birth and, according to the information you have provided, there are no signs of abnormalities. It is recommended that you continue to administer Vitamin D3 appropriately, once a day, one tablet per dose. As for whether calcium supplementation is needed, since the baby’s current tests show no calcium deficiency, there is no need for additional supplementation. If you are concerned about rickets, it is suggested that you take the baby to the hospital for further examination and follow the professional advice of the doctor.
