The DHA content of breast milk varies with the mother's DHA intake. It is
critical for breastfeeding mothers to have a high intake of fish or fish oil
capsules. ISSFAL now have a recommended intake of DHA for all ages and it is
much higher in pregnancy.

Hunter gatherers breast feed their infants on average 4 times an hour by day
and frequently at night (co-sleeping). Makes me wonder how many breast
feeding problems would be solved if city mothers just let the infant at the
breast as often as the infant wanted. I'll bet within 5 days, they'd all
have milk galore.

Instead of checking out "new artificial breastmilk" you might try the real
thing..already rich in natural DHA. Having a natural diet rich in DHA will
also boost the levels found in breastmilk. I doubt cave girls bottle feed.
