Is Fish Oil Good For Infant Development?

This is what I recently read and understand that according to researchers from the University of Western Australia’s School of Paediatrics and Child Health, fish oil supplements are beneficial for the pregnant mothers during the last 20 weeks of their pregnancy.

What those researchers found was that during those periods, fish oil will help promote better hand and eye coordination in those pregnant mothers’ babies. The facts that support this is that the high levels of omega-3 fatty acids that was found in fish oil in the babies’ umbilical cord blood are significantly linked to good hand and eye coordination.

However, the researchers also made a note that whether this will eventually translates into long term benefits in coordination, vision or cognition, remains to be explored.

Whatever it is, as a pregnant lady do enjoy and cherish the joy of having new addition to your family as I believe that will mould us towards a better mind body spirit and soul!
