Question
How much cod liver oil should an 80-day-old baby take daily?
Answer
Vitamin D in cod liver oil aids in calcium absorption, so it’s best to choose calcium supplements with added vitamin D or to add cod liver oil while supplementing calcium. If calcium deficiency is not severe, generally, a daily intake of 400 IU of vitamin D is sufficient; if using calcium supplements with vitamin D, additional vitamin D intake is usually not necessary.
