Flax Seed Oil For Baby

Flax seed oil for baby should be used with caution, because the use on infants is far from thoroughly researched. Consult your pediatrician before you make any drastic changes regarding the diet of you body. Small amounts of flax seed and flax seed oil have however been included in baby food for thousands of years in regions where flax seed is grown. Flax seed can for instance be grounded, boiled and served in porridge when it is time for a baby to start eating solid food. In such parts of the world, it was also common for breast-feeding women to eat flax seed and flax seed oil, since it was a part of the normal everyday diet and a valuable source of energy.

If you are still breastfeeding and want your baby to benefit from the omega-3 fatty acids found in flax seed oil, it is recommended that you eat flax seed oil for baby and pass it to your baby via the milk instead of feeding your baby oil directly. If you are bottle-feeding using milk substitute, always contact your pediatrician before you start mixing flax seed oil for baby into the milk substitute. 

Flax seed oil for baby can also be used as a short term solution for constipation. Contact your pediatrician if your baby frequently suffers from constipation, because it can be a sign of underlying health problems. In most cases, it is however completely normal and a small dose of flax seed oil for baby will make the bowels easier for the baby to pass. Unlike the popular mineral oils that many parents use to treat constipation in babies, flax seed oil is made from flax, not from petroleum. 

Last but not least, flax seed oil for baby can be used externally, just like any other baby oil. Be careful when you switch from one type of oil to another and carefully monitor you baby to detect skin irritation at an early stage. Only use flax seed oil that is fit for human consumption and stay clear off flax seed oil that contains a lot of added substances.
