Recently, parents are very concerned about one issue, that is-
Fatty marine fish are a great source of DHA for babies and are essential for your child's vision and brain development.
Is there a "flat replacement" for marine fish?
Where to get DHA
DHA is found in breast milk, so breast milk is the best source of DHA.
Some of them come from formula milk and DHA-rich foods, known as deep-sea fish.
But in fact, DHA is not unique to deep-sea fish, such as -
Freshwater fish such as blackfish, freshwater bass, mandarin fish (cinnamon) and so on
The amount of DHA in their bodies is also considerable.
This is because, like humans, fish cannot produce DHA themselves, and they also store DHA in the body through food intake.
Like the freshwater fish we mentioned above, in the process of aquaculture, will steadily intake DHA-rich feed, over time, the DHA in the body naturally has good reserves.

How to ensure adequate DHA supplementation
For children aged 3+, WHO recommends:
Children aged 3~18 should eat at least 2 servings of DHA-rich fish every week, about 45g each time (about half a slap a little more).
You can arrange pork and beef, chicken and duck, fish, etc. on duty and take turns flopping
