Omega 3 for breastfeeding woman and baby: why supplementation makes sense for bothUpdated 4 months ago

During breastfeeding, omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in supporting the mother’s health as well as the proper development of the baby’s brain, nervous system, and vision. Breast milk naturally contains DHA, but its levels depend almost entirely on the mother’s dietary intake.

Omega-3 supplementation typically covers primarily the mother's needs and may not ensure an optimal supply for the breastfed infant.

That’s why we recommend supplementing omega-3 not only for mothers but also directly for breastfed babies, to ensure their intake is truly sufficient for healthy development.
