Vit D for babies
Good afternoon
My baby is 28 day as of today.. Her birth weight was 3.43kg.. During discharge Dr just gave zincovit drops for one month.. We had a review when she was 23 days old, her wt was 4.03kg.. Dr said no need to give zincovit now as she is gaining weight and no issues.. My concern is Dr didnt prescribe Vit D drops.. Even i didnt have any idea about that, if yes i would have asked him.. My babys next review is when she turns 3 months..what should i do now. I dont know why Dr didnt prescribe
