Hi ladies,
please share what Omega 3/DHA brands you give your kiddos.
I am trying to figure out which one to get for my 5 year old. Tried the brand Costco has (i think its Flintstone) but she hates it - she hates anything that sweet like the chewy vitamins et al. If I can find a gummy type, she will love it, am sure. Or liquid, she's cool with not-so-great tasting liquid meds.
I wish I can just get her to eat fish all the time. I personally noticed that when I eat fish as a staple, my brain agility improves!
Thanks in advance for your suggestion!
One more thing: WHERE (store name) DO YOU GET THE BRAND YOU USE, please?
thanks a lot, ladies. We got the Nordic Naturals 3-6-9 at Whole food and love it. Now mom and daughter both take it!
Next time though, I will buy from Sprouts though per your suggestions here.
I have used the Nordic Naturals Childrens DHA also...very similar to the regular Cod Liver Oil by Nordic Natural so it does not necessarily have to be for children....(in case you find it on sale or something). I buy mine at Mikes Health Collection and I believe Sprouts carries it too.
Nordic Natural Juniors--we get our at Sprouts--almost $6 cheaper than Whole Foods.
I use the liquid kind for our baby.

Very smart move! We have since swicthed to a juice that has naturally occuring Omega and so it is part of the fruit and much easier for us, but we have used all sorts of types of omega products- I have three kids and they are all picky - these are what they will tolerate: My son would juse Coromega (like an orange pudding), my middle daughter would use Children's DHA from Nordic naturals, and my other daughter would use Animal Parade from Nature's Plus. You do want to use a reliable brand because of the mercury issue with fish.

We use the Nordic Naturals "Children's DHA". They're little "bubbles" (round capsules) that are strawberry flavored. My 3yo son loves them. I let him try them first and he liked them so much that I thought- wow, they must really taste like strawberry. I tasted one and Yuck!! just tastes like fish oil to me! I think it's crazy that he likes them, but he does- eats 4 a day per the recommended dosage. Usually he doesn't like medicines and such, so I don't get why he likes them, but I'm sooooo glad he does. We very rarely eat fish and he doesn't eat eggs much either (I get the eggs with 225 (mgs?) of Omega 3's). I don't eat fish often because of a food poisoning I had years ago, so I don't cook it. I know, it's terrible, but at least he eats his "bubbles".
Oh, I forgot, I also give him a serving of "Toddler Health" everyday- that has Omega's in it, too. Unfortunately the recommend age for it ends at 5, I believe (it's 13 mos-5yo). For those of you who want to check out the Toddler Health, you can go to toddlerhealth.net. (It's cheaper to buy the case on amazon, from my experience, though.)
My 5-yr-old use Omega 3-6-9 Junior by Nordic naturals. Half teaspoon daily ... It's liquid and it taste like lemon. We bought it from Vitamin Shoppe.
This was reccomended by our pediatrician.
