Does a 2-month-old baby need to supplement DHA?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

DHA is primarily used to help with the development of a baby's brain intelligence and vision. The golden period for brain development in babies is between 0 to 6 years old, so supplementing with DHA during this time is very beneficial. However, when choosing DHA for babies, it must be algal oil DHA and should not contain EPA, because EPA can affect a baby's development and may cause early maturation.
