Is it safe to give Zincovit drops to a healthy, fully breastfed 6-month-old baby to help boost their immunity against COVID-19, and if so, what is the correct dose?
Generally, healthy, breastfed infants do not need multivitamin and mineral supplements like Zincovit drops, as breast milk provides almost all the essential nutrients they need. Giving unnecessary supplements can put a strain on your baby's delicate system. There is no evidence that routine zinc supplementation prevents COVID-19 in healthy babies. Please consult your pediatrician before starting any new supplements; they can guide you safely if any specific vitamins, like Vitamin D, are needed.
