Description

What is DHA?

• A type of Omega-3 fat.
• An important building block for your baby’s developing brain.
• Found primarily in fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel.

DHA Benefits Your Baby’s Brain

Your baby’s brain will never grow this fast again, so it’s an important time to support that growth.
Your baby’s brain contains Omega-3 fat and most of that fat is DHA, an important building block of her rapidly developing brain.
DHA occurs naturally in breast milk, but the amount of DHA depends on the foods Mom eats.
DHA is also found in a few specific foods, especially fatty fish like Atlantic salmon, as well as in DHA-enriched formulas and toddler drinks.

Recipes with DHA for Pregnant and Breastfeeding Moms

Pregnant and breastfeeding Moms should learn about DHA benefits and include it with other important nutrients in their diet, to build a strong foundation for their rapidly growing baby’s development.

DHA increases brain levels of neuroprotective brain-derived neurotrophic factor and reduces the (n-6) fatty acid arachidonate and its prostaglandin metabolites.
