Babies with high vitamin D levels can take zinc supplements. During breastfeeding, mothers can consume more zinc-rich foods and should maintain a balanced diet by eating more lean meat, nuts, etc. The main function of this medication is to promote calcium absorption in the body. Excessive intake of vitamin D can lead to elevated vitamin D levels in the body, potentially causing vitamin D toxicity and resulting in hypercalcemia.
