Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 le, I get my coconut oil from Omega Nutrition: http://www.omeganutrition.com/home.php This is great way to get high quality oils into your children's diets (look under gourmet oils). This company has a broad array of top notch oils. The coconut oil is organic and non-hydrogenated. Is your child still being formula fed or is he older? I have a couple great baby formulas that I will post once I can find them. Jean > > Where can I find it? > > le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 le, MCT stands for medium chain triglyceride. MCT oil is very expensive and can be ordered from most pharmacies (most insurances do not cover this). A very cheap alternative to this is corn oil. Corn oil has the same makeup as MCT oil (medium chain triglyceride) & you can get a large bottle for $2! I used this with when he was a baby. I forget what the dosing is though. I remember adding 3-5cc to his feeding occasionally (not every feeding), but I don't remember how much volume he was taking at the time. You have to be careful not to add too much, because it could cause digestion problems. Kim C. > I have been looking at the links for high cal foods.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Thanks for all the information. Coby is not on formula anymore. He drinks peptimen jr instead of milk. I know I used to add oil among other things to his formula to make it high calorie, but I just used corn oil. Thanks again, le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
