RE: Can I squeeze PRO-EFA capsules into milk for my toddler to drink ?

[Guest guest]

Yes, you can. That is how the many of us get our kids to take it, by

squeezing it into food or drink. I put it in 's juice, her

applesauce, her yogurt, her pudding irher pureed sweet potatoes. Works

like a charm!

You can do that. I don't know of any reason that it wouldn't work or

be absorbed. I had no success with that because my dd realized her

milk was different. I puncture the things and squeeze them in vanilla

pudding or applesauce. Both work great for us.

My 38 mo son (30.5 lbs) is a resistent eater (has few foods he will

eat) so I cannot put his fish oils in food or drink because he

doesn't finish anything and he seemed to notice when I did.

I puncture the capsules and squeeze them into a medicine dropper and

give them to him that way. He doesn't fight me anymore but it's been

5 months since I started giving him the oils and he's getting used

to them. (They taste like a light olive oil scented with lemon to

me) I keep a couple of paper towels ready because after I squeeze

the oil in his mouth a little comes out (2 Pro EFAs and 1 EPA is

about 3/4 tsp).

He hasn't had a language explosion like everyone can instantly

understand him but he says " no ah oo " for No Thank You " which is a 3

word approximation for him! Wow! He used to cry all the time and

that has almost stopped!

Mine hates medicine too and he used to make himself vomit everytime

I tried to give him the oils (I started out only giving him 1 Pro

EFA which is 1/4 tsp so it's not much). Now it's easier. Try not to

get the oils on clothing as once it oxidizes it smells fishy! That's

why I use paper towels instead of a wash cloth! LOL!

Best wishes to you,

Debra

They are adding it to baby formulas, so I don't see why not. The only

problem is that the oil may stick to the plastic of the bottle and your

child may not get all that you are giving. If you are squeezing capsules, no

need to use the EFA-juniors, as they are much more expensive than the

regular capsules, and you need to use a lot more. 1/2 tsp = 2 capsules,

which is 4 juniors. -
