How many drops of Vitamin D for an 18-month-old?
⚡ Short answer: Vitamin D dosage varies by your baby's weight and the brand's concentration, so I can't give you an exact number of drops — use the package insert or your doctor's prescription.

Vitamin D supplementation dose varies based on your baby's weight and the brand's concentration. That's why I can't give you an exact number of drops.
The right answer: Follow the package insert on the Vitamin D bottle your pharmacy gave you, or use your doctor's prescription exactly as written.
As a general reference, Turkey's Health Ministry recommends 400 IU (international units) of Vitamin D per day for children over 1 year. But how many drops that equals depends on how much IU is in each drop — one brand might have 400 IU per drop while another has 200 IU per drop.
If the insert is confusing, calling your pharmacy or asking your child's doctor is the safest route.
