If my baby was premature, will his/her DHA needs be different?

by | Jun 15, 2020

Premature infants have an even greater need for DHA after they are born, as they missed out on some time for brain DHA accumulation from their mother in utero. Mothers of premature infants can safely increase their Mother’s Milk DHA levels by eating fish and supplementing with up to 800 mg DHA per day.
