Fatty acid composition of mature breast milk according to the mothers diet during pregnancy

Adv Exp Med Biol. 2000:478:405-6. doi: 10.1007/0-306-46830-1_49.

Abstract

Mothers taking 200 g of fish per week, showed a greater content in mature breast milk of n-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA. AA was not decreased. Vitamin D content was low despite mothers were living in a sunny and temperate area. The content of 25 hydroxyvitamin D is increased in the group on fish intake, probably pointing out its marine source.
