Abstract
Recent research has suggested that PUFA’s in mom prior to pregnancy may contribute to an infant’s temperament. We hypothesized that high intake of PUFA in mothers is related to “easy” infant temperament. Although no support for our hypothesis was found, the current study that is underway could lead to clarifications.
