A member asked:
I am giving my baby 16 months vitamin d 4 drops daily when can i stop it ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vitamin D supplement: Vitamin D deficiency is extremely common in both children and adults. If you are no longer breast feeding, you can stop the supplements whenever you feel is appropriate, but pay careful attention and make sure your toddler is eating plenty of foods with Vitamin D and plays in the sunshine regularly.
