Question

medicine or vitamin

Answer 1

it helps children by protecting them from cold and foreign bodies. its a general medicine for all ages and that too if treated from a very early age, the kid can benefit greatly. just have a look at the link.

Answer 2

Cod liver oil is very high in Vitamin A. Not sure if I would give it to a baby. When I was a child my mother would line us up every day to receive our squirt of cod liver oil.
Vitamin A can be toxic in large doses.

Answer 3

im not sure on this but i do no that for adults there are risks I need to comment on the research surrounding its possible toxicity. Over-elevated serum levels of vitamin D are a possibility if you combine summer or southern sun and cod liver oil. So if you are spending a lot of time out in the sun during the summer months, it's probably best to cut back on the dose. If you are unsure, you should test your blood levels of vitamin D. ask your doctor or go to your local health food store and ask them they should have people trained to answer your quesiton

Answer 4

While cod liver oil is good for adults (Omega 3 oils aplenty), I am not so sure about babies. I do recall when there were kids in our family the doctor did prescribe a dropper full, but I don't recall how old the babies were.
If I were you, I would check with my baby's doctor before starting anything like giving it to a small infant.

Answer 5

Cod liver oil really doesn't do much for babies, and can cause an upset stomach in some cases.
