It is often said that breast milk is the most ideal food for babies. However, when babies grow to a certain age, breast milk can no longer supplement more nutrients. At this time, if the baby's body lacks nutrients, it must use some nutrients to supplement. When babies enter the age of 2, they will need more nutrients. So, should babies eat cod liver oil or D3 at the age of 2?
At the age of 2, babies can also eat fish liver oil or D3. The choice should be based on the specific nutritional deficiencies of the baby. You can take the baby to the hospital for examination to see which nutritional element the baby is lacking. After confirmation, you can supplement the corresponding fish liver oil or D3.
D3 is very important for the physical development of babies. If it is lacking, the growth and development of babies will naturally be greatly affected, and various corresponding symptoms and diseases will appear. When D3 is severely lacking, babies will experience delayed physical development, rickets, asthma, eczema and other diseases. You can supplement your baby with D3 every few days, or choose formula milk powder with high D3 content for consumption.
The main components of cod liver oil are D3 and A. If both of the same elements are lacking, babies can supplement with cod liver oil. If there is a single deficiency of D3, only D3 needs to be supplemented. As a breastfeeding mother, it is important to choose foods with sufficient D3 and A in order to meet the daily needs of the baby. Therefore, when supplementing with cod liver oil and D3, babies only need to choose D3.
