Hi parent,
Vitamin D3 drops are essential for bone growth and physical development in general of the baby
It should be given until 1 year of age
There is no difference if it is given at morning or night
What matters is consistency and dose of the drops
Next Steps
Vitamin D3 (400iu / 1ml ) 1 ml should be given orally
preferably it should be given along with a meal or feeding as it increases absorption of vitamin D
Health Tips
In conclusion,
vitamin D3 drops can be given at any time of the day
and it will help in improving the bone growth of the baby.
