How much fish oil should a baby take per day?

Patient's question:

How much milligrams (MG) of fish oil should a two-month-old baby consume daily? I want to quickly resolve this issue.

Doctor's answer:

Fish oil is mainly rich in vitamins A and D. The main function of vitamin A is to maintain normal growth, perinatal health, vision, healthy epithelial tissues, and immune function against infections. The main function of vitamin D is to enhance the absorption of calcium and phosphorus by the intestinal mucosa and to increase the reabsorption of calcium and phosphorus by the renal tubules. It is recommended to give 5 milliliters twice a day to babies who are two months old. If it is in capsule form, one capsule per day is recommended. In summer, it can be taken once every two days.
