DHA Needs For Children

Aug 15, 2019

Registered Dietitian Nutritionists and plant-based mamas Whitney English and Alex Caspero break down the details on DHA needs for babies and children.

If you saw our video on DHA needs during pregnancy, then you know just how important this omega-3 fatty acid is to baby’s brain and eye development: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_FDm...

But DHA needs don’t end after pregnancy – early childhood is a time of rapid brain growth, and DHA accrual continues throughout the first two years of life.  

Studies in children have shown that DHA supports normal IQ and visuospatial learning and memory.

This video talks about where DHA is found in the diet and how to meet babies and children's needs for this essential omega-3 fatty acid on a plant-based diet.
