Question

After 50 days of birth, should a newborn supplement Vitamin A (AD) or Vitamin D3? Different medical opinions suggest different choices, how should parents make a decision?

Answer

In northern regions during winter, newborns can choose to supplement either Vitamin A or D3. However, the dosage of the supplement should strictly follow the guidance of a pediatrician. Both Vitamin A and D3 are fat-soluble vitamins, and insufficient intake can affect health, while excessive intake may lead to toxic accumulation in the body and cause other complications. Therefore, it is recommended that parents consult with a pediatrician for professional advice on the choice.
