claimOne study found that breastmilk DHA was a better predictor of infant erythrocyte DHA than direct supplementation of the infants with fish oil.[9] Higher levels of DHA in breastmilk are consistently linked to better motor, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes and a reduced risk of allergic disease in early childhood.[10] Supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids has been studied for improving various infant outcomes.
