I recently switched my 11 month old son from a DHA fortified formula to a toddler formula. We had also cut out fish. He started to have small temper tantrums which I think are because of Omega 3 deficit? We now give him salmon twice a week, about a palm-ful portion. How else should we supplement his diet?
