Coconut Oil for Babies and Children

[Guest guest]

Today I received an email in response to a question I had for Dr Newport

MD, a Pediatrician.

In her kind response to my question regarding the use of coconut oil for babies,

she wrote that coconut oil is in " nearly all " infant formulas and is considered

safe for babies.

In addition, she suggests the following quantities based on a child's weight.

Coconut Oil : 1/4 tsp per 10 pounds, 2 to 3 times per day.

Her dietary guidelines also contain the suggested amounts of coconut milk for

children:

I wish I had known more about coconut oil when the children were growing up:

they both love the taste of coconut.
