Question
My child has been crying a lot lately and doesn’t eat much. What should babies eat to become smarter?
Answer
Supplementing babies with a sufficient amount of DHA after birth not only results in a 7-point higher intelligence quotient (IQ) and intellectual development index at 18 months, but also a 7-point higher IQ score at 4 years. When choosing DHA supplements, parents should opt for products specifically designed for infants and follow the advice of doctors or nutritionists to ensure that babies receive enough DHA to promote brain development. A balanced diet and adequate sleep are also important factors for the healthy growth of babies.
