Mother's Milk DHA At Home Test Kit

At-home test measuring DHA content in a breast milk sample.

What this test measures

DHA as a proportion of total fatty acids in a dried breast milk spot sample.

Why these markers matter

The fatty acid composition of breast milk reflects the mother's intake and stores. DHA in particular varies considerably between individuals and with diet. Measuring the milk directly answers a different question from measuring the mother's blood — it describes what's actually being delivered rather than what's available.
