Is there any role of DHA supplements in preterm babies especially ELBW

Dear Mohan,

We currently have a partnership with @Neobiomics who are arranging a free webinar on this on April 1st:

Zoom

Välkommen! Du är inbjuden att delta i ett möte: NeoMega36...

ARA and DHA Supplementation: Pioneers & First Experiences in European NICUs **NeoMega36 Webinar** By Neobiomics - Karolinska Institutet Science Park DATE: 1 April TIME: 15.00-16:00 CET AGENDA:...

May I also suggest listening to this recent episode of the Incubator podcast:

It doesn’t add much to the discussion, but possibly gives some food for thought.

best,

Gustaf

The N3RO and MOBYDICK, which studied DHA supplementation in two different ways (via the mother->breastmilk, or directly to the infant, links below) showed that there was no benefit from DHA supplementation only, and seemingly associated with potential risks. But, for the record, being founder of Neobiomics, I do have a conflict-of-interest about omega-fatty acid supplementation.
