Should I supplement with AD or D3 for my baby who is 50 days old?

Patient's question:

Baby is 50 days old, should I supplement with AD or D3? The hospital says to supplement with D3 but not with A, while the community suggests supplementing with AD. Which one should I give the baby?

Doctor's answer:

If this is in a northern region during winter, both can be supplemented, or simply supplementing with vitamin D3 is also okay. However, the dosage must strictly follow the guidance of a pediatrician. Both vitamin A and D3 are fat-soluble vitamins. Insufficient intake can interfere with health, but excessive intake can accumulate in the body and cause poisoning, as well as lead to other complications. Therefore, please consult a pediatrician before using.
