I give the vitamin D to my 3 months baby @ 1pm and the iron before the bath time @ 8pm is it too late? can I give both supplements @ the same time?

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
There is no early or late time for giving iron and vitamin D supplements, though the iron absorption is optimal on an empty stomach, so you should give it 2 hours prior to or after a meal. And it''s preferable that you do not give both iron and vitamin D concomitantly because your baby will most probably get very irritated and spit out most of the dose or vomit.
