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%). Salmon is the best choice, having high DHA and low mercury. 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.

Only G-d knows the formula for mother's milk!
