A member asked:
My baby is 8 days she was born 5.776 pounds is it safe to give her vitamin d?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check with MD: Normally there is no need to give a baby Vit. D at this age. If the baby is on good formula or breast feeding that should be sufficient . Are there any reasons or needs that a physician has that has raised this issue? If not, ask the baby's MD if it is indicated. Good luck with your special newborn
