How to give oils to my 7 month old...

[AprilM]

I am new to the whole NT concept, and I have yet to read SF's book, but plan to very soon. I have a 7 month old who is formula fed due to breastfeeding problems at birth. I have been studying the WP's home made formula recipe, but can't afford to buy all those ingredients, so I was thinking of dosing him with the oils on a daily basis to make sure he gets his good fat intake. My question is, if I were to just mix in some of the oils (CLO, Coconut, Sunflower, and Olive Oil) into his daily diet, which ones would you recommend and why? (I know CLO is a good source of A and D so I definitely want to get him on this considering we live in the northeast and not alot of sunshine right now) Also, how would I figure out the dosage? Are there any brands that are recommended over others?
Thanks!

Coconut oil is really easy just put a spoon full in his warm bottle

This is about the age mine started taking CLO off the spoon. I hear that is difficult for alot of babies/kids so I guess I just got lucky. It's alwasy been part of our night time thing. Each kid sits on the counter, brushes teeth, then does "lemon stuff" as they call it, then a shot of apple juice right after to wash down the taste.

With CLO though, you have to be careful about the mess factor. You do NOT want to spill it on anything. I hold a napkin under the spoon while feeding it incase it drips. Or you can put one sip of orange juice in a small cup, and pour the oil in the cup. The oil will sit on the top so the first big sip it should be swallowed.

Once he starts with solids, basically just fry/bake anything in coconut oil. I like to toss sweet potatoes in it and roast them for a bit, that's a great first food.

Is there a certain brand of Coconut Oil and CLO that you prefer?
