Omega-3 during Pregnancy?

Does eating fish during pregnancy have an effect on your baby's infant development? New signs point to "yes." A recent Danish study found that women who ate the most fish during pregnancy and had greater duration of breast feeding were more likely to have children with higher developmental scores at 18 months. These differences in scores were even seen as early as 6 months of age.

In addition, mothers with a higher omega-3 intake may have lessen their risk of post partum depression. Omega-3 can be found in supplements and cold water fish such as salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies and sardines.
