Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 They add coconut oil to formula they give premature babies. So yes it is safe. Are you breast feeding? If yoou are the best way to get it to the baby is to supplement your own diet with the coconut oil. Coconut oil is just a food and will do no harm since few are allergic to coconut oil. there may be looser BMs as the child gets used to coconut oil. I would try puting little pieces of coconut oil (if in a cold climate) into the babies mouth and let the baby suck on your finger.Infant start out slow 1/4 t at most the first day -not all at once, and work up gradually. 1 t a day should be more than enough. Is the baby sick? IN NC axk00 <axk00@...> wrote: Need info, is the VCO can be used for a baby (2 month old)? if yes, please let me know the standard procedure ... Thanks.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Yes. You may mix it with her milk formula. Very good also for diaper rashes. axk00 <axk00@...> wrote: Need info, is the VCO can be used for a baby (2 month old)? if yes, please let me know the standard procedure ... Thanks.
