DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a type of omega-3 fatty acid that plays a critical role in your baby’s brain, eye, and nervous system development. During breastfeeding, your baby relies entirely on your milk for DHA—so your own levels directly influence how much your baby receives.
If your intake is low, your body will prioritise your baby and draw on your stores, which can leave you feeling depleted. Adequate DHA supports:
- Baby’s growth: Healthy brain, eye, and cognitive development
- Mum’s recovery: Mood, mental clarity, and reducing postnatal depletion
- Ongoing wellbeing: Nervous system and hormone health for both mum and baby
Because many modern diets are low in DHA—and traditional sources like fish oil can be contaminated or unsustainable—supplementing with a clean, vegan DHA ensures you and your baby get what you need, without compromise.
