Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Please be careful when giving Vitamin C to such a young child. Remember, we do not have proven research on children yet, therefore there is no " theraputic dose " . We do not even have proven research on adults taking C at this point either. The Pediatric RDA info is below: The recommended daily intakes of dietary vitamin C (according to the U.S. RDA) are listed below. I suggest you consult your daughter's pediatrician about this also. Pediatric Neonates 1 to 6 months: 30 mg Infants 6 to 12 months: 35 mg Children 1 to 3 years: 40 mg Children 4 to 6 years: 45 mg Children 7 to 10 years: 45 mg Children 11 to 14 years: 50 mg Adolescent girls 15 to 18 years: 65 mg Adolescent boys 15 to 18 years: 75 mg http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002404.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
