Five-year-old children can eat cod liver oil, which contains vitamin D, which can not only promote the absorption of calcium, but also help children prevent rickets. However, it should be noted that cod liver oil also contains vitamin A. If taken in excess, it may cause toxic and side effects and have an impact on children's health. Therefore, if a 5-year-old child wants to eat cod liver oil, he must control the amount, so there is no problem.
Children can eat cod liver oil until they are two or three years old, and they can eat it from 15 days after the baby is born, and gradually increase it for the baby as long as there is no abnormality in the baby. After two or three years old, the baby's diet is rich, so there is no need to supplement these nutrients.
Parents should pay attention to the proportion of vitamins A and D when choosing cod liver oil for their children. The usage and dosage of different proportions of cod liver oil are different. Be sure to see the dosage clearly. The safest way is to take it under the guidance of a doctor, so you don't have to worry about problems.
