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?

If baby shows delay in milestones, BERA (hearing test) helps rule out hearing loss. Safe and commonly done in babies. Also check Vitamin D, Calcium, and Thyroid.

Take a Vitamin D Test Test or Take a Calcium Test Test

I recently got a blood test report showing my Vitamin D level as 18.11 ng/mL. I am experiencing fatigue, unusual joint and muscle aches, and back pain. Could these symptoms be due to low Vitamin D? Should I take Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week? Please advise what I should do.

Can I take flaxseed powder in the morning on an empty stomach while I am on medication for Vitamin D3 deficiency (level 3.17 ng/mL) and PCOS? All my other tests are normal. I have attached my scan report and medication details for reference. Please review and advise as soon as possible. Thank you.

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?
