What does it include?

Mother’s Milk DHA Test (Breast Milk DHA Test) measures the amount of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) — an essential omega-3 fatty acid — present in your breast milk. Analysed in certified laboratories in Australia and Europe, this test provides valuable insight into how much DHA your baby is receiving during breastfeeding.

DHA is a vital nutrient for your baby’s brain, eye, and nervous system development. Levels of DHA in breast milk reflect the mother’s dietary intake and can vary significantly depending on omega-3 consumption. Research shows that maintaining a Mother’s Milk DHA level of at least 0.32% supports optimal infant growth and cognitive development.

With a simple at-home sample collection, this test helps you ensure your baby is getting the right nutrition. If your DHA levels are low, dietary adjustments or omega-3 supplementation can help increase DHA in your milk and support your baby’s developmental needs.

Your sample is analysed in our accredited labs in Australia or Europe, providing accurate, science-backed results you can trust.
