The lifelong development of a baby is related to genetic factors at birth, but postnatal factors are also very important. As the baby grows up, the energy in the body needs to be continuously transported to the brain. In order to promote the growth and development of the brain, parents must let the baby supplement nutrients. They can eat more DHA. So, is it good for the baby to keep eating DHA?
Among the substances in DHA, there are unsaturated fatty acids that the human body needs the most, and DHA is also the most important component of brain cells. After babies supplement with DHA, it can promote the regeneration of brain cells and naturally promote brain development. Although DNA is a good substance, it is not good for babies to eat DHA all the time because the human body needs less DHA. Supplementing too much DHA to a certain extent is harmful to the human body, increases the metabolic burden on the kidneys, and is not conducive to physical health.
To supplement DHA in babies, it is not necessary to do so through medication. Breastfeeded babies need DHA from breast milk, while formula fed babies have DHA added to their formula, so there is no need for extra supplementation.
After 6 months, babies start adding complementary foods, and the required DHA will be present in various complementary foods. After 7 months, babies can supplement DHA by eating some meat. If babies cannot obtain enough DHA from their diet, DHA medication is needed at this time.
