As a Dietician, I strongly recommend not giving any drops or supplements to an 8-month-old baby without consulting a pediatrician first. The pediatrician can assess the baby’s specific needs and recommend the most appropriate supplements, if required. Each baby’s nutritional requirements can vary, and a professional's guidance is crucial to ensure their safety and well-being.
