Fatty Fish Good for Infants

March 11, 2008: 12:00 AM EST
The children of mothers who eat two servings of fatty fish a week have better vision than other children, says Sheila Innis, head of the nutrition and metabolism program at the Child & Family Research Institute at BC Children's Hospital, and professor at the University of British Columbia. "During pregnancy and breastfeeding, fat consumed by the mum is transferred to the developing baby and breastfed infant, and this fat is important for the baby's developing organs,” Innis says.
