What makes good brain food for baby in tummy?

Folic acid:

Folic acid is an essential B vitamin that pregnant women need to reduce the risks of brain and spinal defects in their children. The fact is everyone needs folic acid as it helps the body make new cells. For pregnant women, the need increases because folic acid also helps to combat anaemia, miscarriages and premature deliveries. However, in reality, only 3 out of 5 women get sufficient folic acid during their pregnancies. So it’s important for you to up your folic acid needs and you can find this essential nutrient in leafy green vegetables, dried beans, peas and of course, Anmum milk.

Gangliosides: 
Gangliosides are lipids that help in the development of your child’s brain functions, especially the synapses or connections. The more the cells of your child’s brain connect, the more potential his brain has for learning.

Essential Fatty Acids: 
EFAs support your child’s brain development, especially his eye functions. Your child cannot make his own EFAs, so he has to rely on your diet to get what he needs.
