Brief Report: Newborn Behavior Differs with Decosahexaenoic Acid Levels in Breast Milk

Abstract: These results suggest that breast milk DHA is beneficial to the neonate's neurobehavioral functioning and call for investigative attention to DHA's role in potentiating optimized intellectual functioning at later stages of development. The findings may also be interpreted as supporting formula supplementation with DHA.

“…Esses ácidos graxos são essenciais para o adequando desenvolvimento neurológico, acuidade visual e regulação das atividades celulares 5 . Hart et al 48 encontraram associação positiva entre as concentrações de DHA no leite e os pontos obtidos no teste NBAS (Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale), que avalia o comportamento neurológico do neonato. Dijck-Brouwer et al 49 , estudando o perfil sanguíneo de ácidos graxos de crianças classificadas como neurologicamente anormais, de acordo com o NOS (Neurological Optimality Score), encontraram menor teor de DHA e de ácidos graxos essenciais no sangue da veia umbilical.…”

“…Reference [37] showed a positive association between DHA concentrations in breast milk and infant scores on the NBAS (Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale) Range of State cluster score. The results suggest that DHA is related to infant's superior ability to maintain optimal arousal.…”

“…Maternal milk is a rich source of unsaturated fatty acids, bioactive nutrients that are essential to early brain development (Yehuda, Rabinovitz, & Mostofsky, 1999). Not all formulas include DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, an essential omega-3 fatty acid) in presumably optimal proportions, which is important for visual and cognitive development (Hart et al, 2006;Lauritzen, Hansen, Jørgensen, & Michaelsen, 2001;Michaelsen, Lauritzen, Jørgensen, & Mortensen, 2003). Breast milk supports the growth of Lactobacillaceae, found 10 times higher in breastfed infants, which inhibits gram-negative bacteria and parasites (Newburg & Walker, 2007).…”
