PS has been tremendously beneficial to my family and myself to assist in mental clarity and plays a role in membrane integrity of the brain. Any advantage to adding small amounts to my infant's formula? Also the DHA and ARA found in formulas now that has been shown to improve eyesight and memory in infants fed breastmilk or fortified formulas (almost every brand has a variety). Would adding small amounts of purified fish oil with EPA/DHA and no extra Vitamin A/E benefit my infant also or could there be digestive issues? Thanks for your advise!

--Human milk contain naturally PS like material in considrable amount
--You shouldn't add PS to your infant formula because you will use adult type which will may give your infant many side effect on stomach,intestine,liver,brain and so
--you may search for infant's formula already contain PS because it will not have side effect on your baby
--You CAN add purified fish oil to your infant formula when he became 6 month for two years
-- You can buy it as capsule "as Neuromins 100mg (tradename)" and you can evacuate the capsule in your infant formula each day

Check with the baby's doctor before you add or change your infant's diet. What is good for adults is not always good for infants and vice versa. Babies under the age of 2 are still developing their brains and have different needs.
Also, if you breastfeed your baby, your baby will get whatever supplements you are taking through your breast milk. The human body does a great job and makes the BEST formula for your baby!!!
Good luck and congratulations.

In spite of the popularity of commercially available "formulas", babies should only eat breast milk. That's what it's for, and it's the best thing for their health.
So, I hope you are breast-feeding the little guy.
I don't know how you can tell that PS has helped (I had never heard of it, but then, I'm not "up" on all the latest nutritional stuff).
As long as you steer clear of doctors' advice, your baby should be quite healthy. Most medical doctors don't know anything about nutrition--they're drug pushers.

If you're so concerned about your baby's nutrition, why would you be feeding formula in the first place? Breastmilk already has all the benefits you're describing.
Yes, fish oil could cause allergic reactions.

DO NOT PUT WEIRD STUFF IN THE BABY'S FOOD!!!!!!!!
INFANT FORMULA IS ALREADY FORMULATED FOR OPTIMUM HEALTH AN DBRAIN DEVELOPMENT. ITS A BABY, IT DOESN'T NEED "MENTAL CLARITY" WHATEVER THAT IS.

If you are so into supplements to aid your health, why aren't you breast feeding? It's the most natural nutirion you can give your infant

You should check with your child's pediatrician.
