i want to try this! so is this right-spectrum brand of flax seed oil….and what amount for an 8 month old?

The YoBaby already has the flax seed oil in it…so, I suppose Sander gets more than what I technically give him. That said, I put about 1/2 teaspoon in his morning cereal (he doesn’t eat all of it…but I know that amount is safe, anyway). And I put another 1/2 tsp in a bottle. Adults are to have 2 tablespoons daily. Sander might be able to handle more…but I am slightly concerned about loose stools. It works rather well on me (sorry–too much info), so I imagine it would be that much more on him.

Re: the formula/DHA thing…I agree with you. Perhaps more of us need to make a stink about this.

I was formula fed…and they didn’t have that stuff back them. I turned out ok (well, depending on whom you ask ). My little sister, too…and she is a 4.0 student at Brown.

This stuff is CHEMICAL. So, it should be obvious that some babies won’t be able to tolerate it. If generations of little ones did ok without it, why can’t they give us the choice?

ohh maybe i will switch to the flax seed too! i never really thought about the mercury or the allergy to fish… i just knew that it was really healthy ..

and i agree we should make a stink! its really not fair!

o.k i just checked the back of the cod liver oil that i give to shane and it says ,”free of heavy metals, dioxins, and PCB’s” soo i think the heavy metals includes mercury or no?

[Anonymous]

I should think so. I think cod is know to have little mercury, anyway. I love how the call it “heavy metals”…makes me think of Guns N Roses, or Van Halen =-).
