After the baby is born, doctors at the hospital will conduct a comprehensive physical examination to evaluate the baby's development. Sometimes healthcare professionals may prescribe medications for babies to supplement the missing elements in their bodies. However, some mothers also don't understand how to eat these things, such as when to eat baby cod liver oil?
1. If it is a newborn baby, it is recommended to supplement cod liver oil for the baby around 15 days after birth, usually until the baby is about two years old, in order to prevent the occurrence of rickets. And after the full moon, you can often go out and play, which can better allow the baby's fish liver oil to be absorbed by the body.
2. Fish liver oil promotes the absorption of calcium and only needs to be supplemented in cases of calcium deficiency. If the baby's routine examination shows a calcium deficiency, they can follow the doctor's advice to supplement with cod liver oil, but cod liver oil cannot be consumed with milk. It is recommended to eat once every two days or stop for a week after eating for a period of time before continuing to eat.
3. If the baby's sleep condition is poor, they tend to wake up easily, cry and have difficulty achieving deep sleep, and they are also breastfed, then supplementing the baby with cod liver oil for a period of time can effectively improve this situation. It is also recommended that mothers feed cod liver oil in the morning, which can be absorbed for about half an hour after breastfeeding, for the best absorption effect.
