Hi!

I was wondering if anyone knows how much flax seed oil is safe to give to a 2 yr old. This is for my daughter who is withholding stools (posted about this in depth under mothering). Her pedi says to use a Tbsp of mineral oil, but I'd rather use something that has some health benefits. I'm just afraid of going overboard and making her sick on top of this other problem.

Also, I've heard that maybe cod liver oil can be helpful too. Is there a brand that someone recommends and has good luck with a 2 yr old taking it? I've never tried it myself.

Thanks in advance,
Mindy

I am just getting started on homeopathic remedies, so I know nothing about the health questions. I do, however, know what tastes good. I have started buying the cod liver oil from CostCo that tastes like lemon meringue pie. My kids take it no problem. It doesn't have any sugar in it.

That's the extent of my knowledge...

I know as a general supplement an adult takes 1T of flax oil per 100 lbs of weight.

And I'm fairly sure that I've heard that cod liver oil is btter for kids than flax.
