How long do i keep giving the vitamin d drops?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
The first 2 years: Every breast-fed infants is recommended to take 400 iu of vitamin d supplement. The vitamin d intake in young toddlers in their 2nd year of life can be suboptimal especially if they are not offered enough dairy products. For those, supplemental vitamin d in the form of drops, would be advisable.

See below: Since we cannot store vitamin d. Once it is established that we must take it then it is forever until we start taking pills.
