My blood report shows a very low total vitamin D level of 6.53. My doctor advised me to take Vitamin D3 Uprise once a week. She said to take it in the morning, but I am not sure if it should be on an empty stomach or after breakfast. Can you guide me?

My baby is 9 months old but cannot sit or crawl yet. We consulted a neurologist, and the doctor recommended a BERA test. Is this necessary?
