Vit d syrup overdose
My babygirl is 5.5 month old. We been giving Vit d syrup. 800 IU. We were giving 1 ml daily since birth as per doctor prescription. Today got to know that we should be giving 0.5 ml only. Now I am worried about side affects. Is there any side affects of giving 1 ml. It was giving daily. Is it safe for baby
