Question
Is it beneficial for babies to take DHA? Can breastfeeding mothers consume DHA?
Answer
DHA is beneficial for the brain and retina development of babies and fetuses, also known as “brain gold.” Breastfeeding mothers can take oral DHA and can pass it on to their babies through breast milk. It is recommended to consume foods rich in DHA, such as walnuts, sardines, and swordfish, as these foods are not burdensome for the liver, gallbladder, and stomach.
