The presence of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid ( LC-PUFA) in human milk but not in most currently available infant formulas coupled with better subsequent neurobehavioral development of breastfed versus formula-fed infants has led to speculation that LC-PUFAs are important for optimal infant development. This is supported by some, but by no means all, studies of visual function and neurodevelopmental status of infants fed formulas supplemented with LC-PUFA versus unsupplemented formulas. Nonetheless, the available data are sufficiently suggestive to warrant support for supplementing formulas, term and preterm, particularly the latter, with LC-PUFA. Moreover, though additional data are needed, recent studies alleviate many concern about the potential toxicity of available sources of LC-PUFA for supplementing infants formulas.
