yes....cod liver oil boosts your immune system and alleviate constipation...give her milk or water...still watch her and ensure she does not have any allergic reactions

The mercury is a problem with ALL fish products. The safest fish w/ lowest levels comes from the most remote seas and you will pay a premium for it. In theory, there would be more mercury in a fish liver than in its body, because the liver cleans toxins out of the body. I don't know if anyone has ever studied that, though. Cod liver oil is way more plentiful and cheaper than fish oil. Two reasons, maybe 3--there is more oil there, it has been around for several generations and fish oil is all the latest health food rage. There are more omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil than in cod liver oil. Fish liver oil is a better source of vitamin A and possibly more effective at relieving arthritis. The least refluxing oil is one that also has a digestive enzyme in it called lipase. Lemon just covers the taste a bit. I like mint myself. I don't take the pills, just the liquid. Tastes pretty good going down and digests more quickly than gelatin coated pills.

She should be ok, but it is always better to talk to a nurse or doctor for advice. Cod liver oil is a natural product as long as there are no additives used in making it a pill. It might give her diarrhea or color her stool dark.

Perfectly fine. People take Cod oil pills everyday, I would recommend it to anyone because it's like a vitamin.

she's probably fine, but I'd put a call into her pediatrician anyways. They can tell you what to look for if it is dangerous. No need for an office visit I'm sure, just some free peace of mind!

I am surprised the baby ate it When I was a kid we had to drink it in oj as a tonic. I hate oj The babe might have extra runny stools. If it persists call your pediatrician.
