CLO for toddler

[Collin'sMama]

I've been trying to search through the forums for this, but I'm having trouble. How much CLO (I use Garden of Life which has 4000 IU of Vitamin A and 200 IU of Vitamin D per teaspoon) should I be giving my 22lb, 20 month toddler? How often? Where can I found out the proper dose?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Also, I found this info on the WAP website:

Children age 3 months to 12 years: A dose of cod liver oil that provides about 5000 IU vitamin A daily
Children over 12 years and adults: A maintenance dose of cod liver oil that provides about 10,000 IU vitamin A daily
Pregnant and nursing women: A dose of cod liver oil that provides about 20,000 IU vitamin A daily
The recommended dosages for cod liver oil provide about 500 IU vitamin D for children, 1000 IU vitamin D for adults, 2000 IU vitamin D for pregnant and nursing women and up to 9000 IU for those taking large amounts of cod liver oil to deal with stress and disease.

It says that children should be taking 5000 IU vitamin A daily and 500 IU of vitamin D daily. Well in the serving size on the GOL CLO (1tsp) there is only 4000 IU of vitamin A and 200 IU of D. So to get around that much I would having to give my toddler the full serving....1 full tsp seems like a lot.
Does that make sense to anyone?

And if the above is the case how much should I be taking in a day??

Hmmm, my GOL CLO has 5000 IU of A, I think. DD (3) gets 3/4 or 1 tsp. I take close to 2 tsp, but I am tandem nursing. Just start small and watch for reactions. Vitamin D toxicity would be an issue, but really only if he was getting chemical vitamin d in enriched foods or other supplements.
