Question
How Long Should Babies Take Calcium and Cod Liver Oil Supplements?
Answer
Cod liver oil is one of the earliest complementary foods provided to babies, typically started after one month (for breastfed babies) or half a month (for formula-fed babies). It is recommended to regularly take the baby to the hospital for checks to see if there is a calcium deficiency, and to take cod liver oil as needed, as excessive intake may lead to vitamin A and D toxicity. Additionally, excessive calcium tablet intake may also cause calcification in the baby’s body. The dosage is oral, once daily, one tablet per time.
