When should infants and young children take cod liver oil?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Infants and young children are at the stage when their bodies grow the fastest, and the development of bones and muscles requires a large amount of calcium, resulting in a high demand for calcium. If not supplemented in time, infants under 2 years old, especially those under 1 year old, are prone to calcium deficiency. In addition to this reason, premature infants, twins, and infants who frequently suffer from diarrhea or are prone to respiratory infections are more likely to have calcium deficiency.
