Essential Prenatal and Postpartum Nutrients: DHA
Lindsay Watkins, RD, IBCLC
It is entirely possible to get an adequate amount of DHA from food if you eat fatty cold-water fish 2-3 times per week. Examples include salmon, herring, sardines, trout, fish eggs, or mussels. Much smaller amounts of DHA are found in pasture raised eggs, grass fed, pasture raised animals and dairy products from grass-fed animals. At a minimum, aim to consume 200 mg of DHA daily.
