Whats fat got to do with my babys brain development?
Believe it or not, your baby’s brain is more than 60% fat. The polyunsaturated fats from the foods you eat provide your body with fatty acids like DHA and ARA (sources of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats), which help support your baby’s brain development during pregnancy and his first year of life. While a daily value for DHA has not been established, panels of experts in lipid nutrition have recommended at least 200 mg/day for pregnant and nursing women.
