For pg, bf, & pre-pg moms, fish or high omega-3 polyunsats are needed to build up reserves of omega 3 FA's, especially here in the states, where average DHA in human milk (0.14%) is less than 1/3 the WHO-recommended minimum (0.46%).

For vegetarian moms, the levels are even worse; regular use of flax seeds or the oil is the best choice, although walnuts are also good. >I interpreted Jan's post to refer not so much to total reduction in fat >in the diet, but just as much to a change from saturated fats to poly-or >better yet, monounsaturated fats.
