flax seed oil

do any of you use flax seed oil with your little ones???
DS2 seems to be a little constipated - tried pears, prune, water - thought I could give him little bit of flaxseed oil in his food and see what that does...
Anyone use it with babies (he is nearly 9 months) - what benefits do you see (for constipation and other/healty benefit).
any thoughts welcome (pro or con - I am not sure... saw it recommended by Sears which is why i am considering)

Hi :)
We all have flaxseed oil in this house including DS, mainly because none of us like fish so it's our way of getting omega 3. DH and I usually take fish oil capsules as well. Didn't know it could be used for constipation, learn something new everyday! DS is a very healthy little guy, never been sick and has lovely skin so I guess I could put this down to flaxseed oil and plenty of breastmilk!

Mamapan - We use UDO oils in our house. It has flaxseed and other oils. It is rich in omega 3, 6 and 9 which are essential fatty acids, very good for nervous system and brain development amongst other things. We don't eat seafood so this is a great alternative.
