My 'babies' are old enough to take Cod Liver Oil on their own, so I offered this opportunity to review Nordic Naturals Baby and Prenatal DHA to our reviewer, mommy to a nine month old little girl. Enjoy her review and don't forget to enter the giveaway!
"It’s a well-known fact that omega-3 supplements are really important for our health. I remember back in the day being coaxed to take fish oil as a kid. It was nasty. The taste, the smell, the bad breath afterwards. As an adult, I finally get the importance of it and don’t even mind the smell so much. But that’s a hard thing to understand as a kid or a baby! I just started using Baby’s DHA by Nordic Naturals for my little one and it’s awesome! It has a such a clean and almost imperceptible scent and is essentially tasteless. I’ve been adding it to my baby’s yogurt and oatmeal in the mornings and she couldn’t care less. It comes with an pipette that is clearly marked and is super easy to use. The best part of it all is that it’s a really good supplement, unlike so many fish oils that actually don’t include very many omega-3’s. It includes 100% arctic cod liver that has been purified and tested. It is non-GMO, contains no gluten or milk derivatives and is free from any artificial additives. It’s definitely pricey for a bottle, but I guess that comes with any really good product. For my 16-pound baby, the dosage is 2 mL, which makes one 60 mL bottle last for a month. I guess that’s actually not so bad, for $15.95. Of course, for a 30+lb baby, the 5mL a day would only last for 15 days.
Since I am still nursing, I have also been taking the Prenatal DHA supplements which “supports DHA maintenance during pregnancy and lactation.” The softgels are not huge, which I love! Also, you smell the gelatin capsule more than anything. I actually prefer to chew my capsules, and there is almost no smell/taste! I do wonder how I would feel about it if I was pregnant and sick. I had a hard time putting anything in my mouth the first trimester, but maybe this would be different. In any case, it’s a great source of omega-3’s for the developing baby and for the nursing baby. It’s also kind of pricey at $28.95 for 90 softgels (you take two a day).

I love the Nordic Naturals website. It’s very informative and very transparent, which makes me trust the company even more. They have a bunch of other products available as well, so if neither of these apply to you, I would highly recommend looking through the website. They have everything from gummies for children to vegetarian products to softgels for pets!"
