Do babies need cod liver oil?

Cod liver oil for babies usually means taking vitamin AD capsules. Not all babies need to take vitamin AD. However, if your baby at home needs vitamin A supplement or vitamin D supplement, you can take vitamin AD in moderation under the guidance of your doctor. Vitamin AD contains natural vitamins A and D, which are good for promoting the growth and development of babies. The main function of vitamin A is to maintain normal growth, reproduction, vision, epithelial tissue soundness and anti-infection immunity. The main function of vitamin D is to promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus by the mucosa of the small intestine and the reabsorption of calcium and phosphorus by the renal tubules. Babies are usually given preventive vitamin AD supplements before the age of 3. Routine vitamin AD supplementation is usually not recommended after the age of 3 to prevent overdose or even toxicity, etc. However, if there is a deficiency of vitamin A or vitamin D, it is possible to continue supplementation under medical supervision. In addition to giving your child vitamin AD to promote the absorption of calcium, you can also take your baby outside in the sun to promote the absorption of calcium.
