Docosaexahenoic Acid and Gross Motor Milestones in Infants

To examine whether daily supplement of docosahexaenoic acid throughout the first year of life may speed up the achievement of gross motor development milestones in healthy infants, a total of 1160 healthy infants randomly allocated to receive throughout the first year of life daily oral supplement of vitamin D3 (400 IU) plus docosahexaenoic acid (20 mg) or vitamin D3 (400 IU) alone. Primary outcome measure: time of achieving gross motor development milestones. Secondary outcome measure: time of achieving early fine motor development milestones and language.
