Hi,XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

Please note that if your child is healthy, growing well as per his age no medicinal drops are required.

Unless your primary care physician feels that he is deficient in vitamins and calcium then only this drops are required.

There is common practice that parents keep on giving vitamin drops unnecessarily without asking doctor. Please refrain from doing so.

Apart from this, at this age start giving him normal home based diet along with mother’s milk.

I hope this answers your query, I will be glad to reply any follow up query that you have.

In case you do not have any further query, please accept the answer.

Wishing him best of health.

Regards,

Dr.Pragnesh
