 Considering this or the childrens' one, here is what you should know Oct 22, 2011
By austin_Larry
I posted the review below for the Childrens Nordic Naturals version. But I thought it would be helpful here as well. So I am posting the review below. I know I started to have the big question of hey can I get the childrens one...and this is what I found out from having tried both and looking at the labels.
We have had our adopted daughter since she was 7 months old. Not being able to breastfeed we wanted to give her as many positive dietary items as we could. Of course we could not do a controlled experiment but this has seemed to help her. She is developing well and she has no problem with taking this or the infant DHA Nordic Naturals at all. The developing great is very encouraging because she has a genetic deletion and her mom was malnourished and had no prenatal care. Our daughter was also underfed for the first 6 weeks plus of her life. It seemed she started doing more with vocalbulary and being interested in things after starting the DHA. Would she have anyway? I truly can't say.
After using the infant version I was curious about the Children's version because per ounce this one is vastly better priced. So here is what I found. The label for the infant's DHA lists the amount of DHA and EPA per 4 ml (a serving size is 1 to 4 ml). The Children's DHA lists a serving size as 2.5 ml. When you correct you are getting the same amount of DHA and EPA per serving. But you get 8 ounces here as compared to 2 ounces. For way less than 4 times as much. What you are not getting is the higher levels of D3 in the infant. This one also has a strawberry taste that the infant does not. So if you are buying this for DHA and EPA, this is a much better per ounce price. I wish I had known that sooner.
I suspect most people reading this review have done some research on DHA and/or EPA. If you are curious to try, I have heard nothing but good things about Nordic Naturals and as I said the Children's can save you a lot of money over the Infant. The infant we put drops in her bottle or food. This one does not come with a dropper. It also does say check with a doctor for children less than 8 months. But the infant, ironically says 1 to 4 ml a day. If you use 1 to 4 ml of this a day you would be giving your infant no more or no less EPA and DHA than you would having bought the infant one.

 My baby likes it Jan 19, 2012
By Jeffrey Lee
I have been feeding this to my 1 year old baby for a couple of weeks. My little one likes it. Even though the taste could be fishy for an adult (I tried a spoon of it), it seems the baby does not care.
Another concern of mine was the radiation contamination from Fukushima accident. I spent sometime to do homework online on this issue. Finally I was convinced that this Nordic Naturals' product, which is made from Norwegian Arctic Cod, should be safe. Norwegian Arctic cod's habitat is roughly between Greenland and Barents Sea, an isolated area from Pacific waters, which makes it very unlikely to be contaminated. I also checked online for any report about fish radiation contamination. No source points to Norwegian Cod. So, though some seafood is contaminated, this product is relatively safe.

Great supplement to formula Jun 10, 2011
By S. Wilson
I formula feed my 6 month old infant and I use 2 dropperfuls of this Nordic Natural's Baby's DHA in his bottle daily and I feel very comfortable that he is getting the proper amount of DHA his growing brain needs. He has never acted like he can taste the DHA, which is an oil, but I've also never noticed a smell. And it washes out of his bottles no problem when I put them in the dishwasher. As long as he is on formula, I will use this DHA supplement.

My daughter loves the stuff Dec 12, 2010
By Larry in CO
I know not every child has the same tastes in food but my 16-month daughter loves this stuff. I have not tasted, as I am not a big fan of anything fishy tasting (which is why I take nordic's fish oil caps) but again my daughter always comes running when I tell her it is fish oil time. I wish there was a more affordable alternative and am looking forward to when she can move on to the children's version. Until then, we will keep ordering nordic's infant formula.

Worth a try Dec 23, 2011
By w.
I tried it myself before I gave it to my baby. It tastes like fish but only for few seconds then it goes away. I never can smell it on her.
But I do not give her the recommended dose because first it gave her diarrhea and she got only a quarter of the amount. So we do it slowly.
I have read about it and it`s normal.
UPDATE:
No more diarrhea. My baby loves this oil and I just give her as it is. I still give her less than recommended and I don`t know if it`s DHA or only good genes but she is very smart.
