Docosahexaenoic acid, which is known as DHA, is an omega-3 fatty acid that is important for the development of the foetal brain, and motor skills and visual acuity in children. DHA is also available in some vegetarian sources like walnuts, flaxseeds, soybeans, and canola oil. After birth, the baby's omega-3 status depends on his or her mother's DHA status, breastfeeding and/or formula feeding, and his/her ability to process and use lipids. #DoctorTalks #DrDhanasekhar #Pediatrician #ThursdayThoug
