A. dear mum, do not give supplements to your child without doctor consultation. you can give cooked fish to your baby. fishes like rohu catfish catla due to low Mercury content.

A. Consult your doctor before giving your child omega 3 supplements. Only if your doctor approves, give your kid omega 3 supplements meant specifically for kids. Omega 3 supplements for kids are higher in DHA, which is omega 3 fatty acid that children need the most. Children upto 5 years of age need 150 milligrams of DHA per day.
