Are you thinking about omega-3 supplements for your 1-year-old, or wondering about getting it from food? Let me give you a general framework:
- From 1 year on, a healthy baby can get omega-3 from food: 1–2 servings per week of properly cooked, boneless fatty fish like salmon or sardines, ground walnuts, or flax seeds — these are good sources.
- Supplements aren't necessary for every baby. I'd suggest talking to your pediatrician before starting omega-3 supplements, since the dose, form, and actual need depend on your baby's diet.
If you're concerned about "omega-3 deficiency" signs (dry skin, poor attention, night blindness–type issues), those shouldn't be interpreted as standalone symptoms. Always discuss them with your pediatrician.
Short answer: support food-based intake; for supplements, check with your doctor.
