Dear vicky,

All kinds of nutrient may be harmful if given too less or too much. Lack of vitamin D is very very rare in a well baby 5.6kg. There is plenty of case reports of renal (=kidney) disease after excess ingestion of vitamin D, which is frequently added along with many over-the-counter Calcium supplements. Vitamin D may also affect the developing immune system, and risk of asthma may be increased. For the sake of the cute baby, please don't give any vitD/calcium supplement before school age.

Best regards,

TJ Wang
