Supplements for new born girl
Hi,
I want to know the dosage of A To Z multivitamin drops for a new born baby (5 days old).
Baby birth weight was 2.25 kgs ans doctor mentioned that she is underweight.
Beside this, we are also giving her Calshine P drops 0.5 ml per day.
Lastly, Please suggest, if there is any additional supplement/medicine that we can give the baby?
Thanks

Breastfeeding is sufficient and best food for the baby. Nothing extra required.
Keep your baby warm. Keep him well clothed. You may use a method called Kangaroo Mother Care.
We routinely give vitamin D 400 units daily
Health Tips
Normal weight at birth is 2.5 kg or more, so your baby is slightly underweight
