I have been doing some web-surfing regarding pregnancy and DHA supplements. ( because a formula rep. has introduced a "new" DHA supplement in some "free" gift bags for the moms - with the obligatory can of formula included). Interesting is the fact that the mothers in the US are typically low in DHA levels, and that supplementation during pregnancy and breastfeeding has been shown to decrease post-partum depression. Even our most pro-breastfeeding MD's like the idea of using the long-chain fatty acid supplements. Of course, I also mentioned that adding flax-oil to the daily diet would acheive the same goal without the high cost. Has anyone else looked into this supplement?
