A member asked:
When pregnant, what can i eat to help the development of my child's brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Deep sea fish: Consider to have two servings of sea food per week, which will provide enough omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (dha). Pure dha is also available at pharmacy, and 200 mg per day is generally recommended.
