Can newborns take fish oil?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. May a one-month-old baby take fish oil?

Doctor's answer:

A full moon baby can take cod liver oil. Infants and young children are prone to calcium deficiency due to rapid physical development. Generally, cod liver oil or Betalact can be administered, and oral calcium gluconate can also be taken. Additionally, appropriate sun exposure can promote calcium absorption. You can also feed some yolk mud to increase calcium in the diet. Calcium supplementation is a long-term process. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
