If your baby is on exclusive breastfeeding then there is absolutely no need of giving any additional supplements unless there is clinical evidence of deficiencies or if your baby is prematurely born. However, human breast milk is deficient in vitamin D and that needs to be supplemented.
Next Steps
If you still think your baby needs that extra calcium and vitamins, kindly consult.
