For newborn babies who are exclusively breastfed, if the mother's diet is comprehensive and rich in DHA, the baby can not supplement DHA, but if the mother consumes less DHA in the diet, DHA can be supplemented appropriately. The artificially fed baby depends on whether the milk powder contains DHA, the ingredient list and the content. If the amount of milk is enough, the intake of DHA is also enough, and there is no need to supplement. The insufficient part can be supplemented separately.
What kind of baby should be supplemented with DHA in clinic? First of all, the level of intellectual development is not very good, that is, the ability of mentally retarded babies is lower than that of normal children, and DHA needs to be supplemented. In addition, after vision screening, I found that my baby's vision is not very good. For example, there is an obvious myopia trend and the parallax is large. It is also recommended to supplement DHA.
Just saying that the baby under 3 years old is the most golden period does not mean that the baby over 3 years old cannot be supplemented, because DHA is an essential nutrient for optic nerve, brain nerve cells and nerve fibers, and there is no harm in proper supplementation, as long as the product quality is qualified.
If you want to take DHA, the best time to take it is after meals or with meals. It is an unsaturated fatty acid, which will be helpful to the synthesis of many important organs of human body, and its influence will be helpful to nerve cells or retinal cells, so we also call it DHA brain gold.
Generally speaking, it can be provided through food, especially deep-sea fish, which is rich in DHA. Through the intake of food, it provides children with better stability, because these foods must be eaten and the best time for absorption and utilization. If some people especially want to take DHA through drugs or health care drugs, because it is unsaturated fatty acid, it is best to take it after meals or between meals, so as to make better use of its ingredients.
But now DHA is sold in many places, and its ingredients are difficult to obtain, or its stability is not very good, and its purification is also difficult. We should also pay attention to whether DHA really has content, or whether its stability can reach an effective index, which is our special concern.
