Why DHA Matters for Babies: DHA comprises 97% of omega-3 fats in the brain. The first year of life is critical for brain architecture. Breastfed babies get DHA from mother's milk; formula-fed or combo-fed babies often need supplementation.

At $18.95 for 60 servings (2oz bottle), this is $0.32/day. Given the quality and importance of infant DHA, this is excellent value.
The Bottom Line
The best omega-3 + Vitamin D combination for infants. Essential for formula-fed babies and recommended for breastfed babies whose mothers don't supplement.
