Just don't drown it in butter. It appears that in utero babies benefit from having their mothers consume fish. The benefits may be transferred during breast-feeding as well. A significant amount of research indicates breast-feeding at least four to six months is good for a baby. One of the reasons has to do with the kinds of fats that the baby is likely to get in breast milk.
Research suggests that certain fats are good for infants born prematurely.
According to a recent article in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition , full-term infants also benefit. Breast-feeding for four months or more independently had the greatest positive effect on that visual skill. These researchers measured DHA in the mothers during pregnancy and concluded that those women with higher DHA levels, and who ate more fish, most closely corresponded with their children's improved visual skills.

Just as clogging of the arteries that supply the heart muscle can cut off oxygen flow and cause a heart attack, similar clogging in the leg arteries can damage the muscles there.
