During both my pregnancies i would eat plenty of dry fruits, esp walnuts. I heard eating walnuts which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids is beneficial to mother and her baby as these fats help to develop brain and heart health. The infant brain grows more rapidly in its gestation stage and omega-3 fatty acids which is supplied through the mothers diet to her baby, is essential for its growth. So while you are pregnant or breastfeeding, eating just a quarter cup of walnuts daily will provide you that 90% of your omega-3 fatty acid requirements. Having walnuts raw instead of roasting them is a better option.

You can find omega-3 fatty acids in other food sources like fish, etc... but be careful to take it in moderate amounts daily.
