Breast-feeding is acknowledged as the gold standard of infant nutrition. Breast milk contains proteins, micronutrients and antibodies that boost an infant's immune system to help fight against infections, allergies and asthma. DHA is a nutrient found in breast milk that plays a pivotal role in prenatal neural development, and is vital in the health and normal development of infants.

During the first two years of life, DHA gathers in the brain and eyes, suggesting that infants need a diet rich in DHA for normal visual and mental development. Clinical studies show that DHA supports an infant's visual and mental development. Beech-Nut was the first in the United States to develop a line of baby food with DHA, marking the latest innovation in infant nutrition in Beech-Nut's 75-year history of producing quality baby food.
