Hello,
Disclaimer: I discovered this forum a few years back, but was unable to comprehend it. However, I have been keeping my PUFA's intake minimal. Now my wife is pregnant and back again for advice!
I know I still have much reading to do in regards to RP, but because my wife is now pregnant, I want to know specifically if extra omega-3/DHA/fish oil should be supplemented (pre/during/while nursing). My wife generally eats 85% "mainstream healthy", definitely not RP-healthy (~low to moderate PUFA's intake), and hates it when I talk diet with her, but doesn't mind taking supps. I'm unsure about the PUFA's and the fetus's brain development requirement.
Also, while on this subject, when the baby is ~6mo old and eating solids, should we supplement him with the same thing as well, assuming his diet will be similar to that of his mom.
Any other general good RP advice for pregnancy and kids through all developmental stages would be highly appreciated. Links to RP articles, forum threads, etc.
FYI, I will choose a somewhat-broken baby over a mad wife due to over nagging about diet.
Thank you so much!
