I have done some research but couldn't find any reliable source to quote the min/max amount of DHA and ARA one should get from the formulas, but just that since babies get DHA and ARA from their mother during the third trimester, but the transfer is cut short when a baby is born prematurely, thus it seems especially imporatnt for those pre-mature babies. Also studies published showed that full-term infants fed DHA- and ARA-supplemented formula had significantly better visual acuity than infants who did not receive the supplements. And a study published in The Journal of Pediatrics states that DHA and ARA enhance both cognitive and physical growth in preterm infants. However, there aren't any long-term studies confirming the safety of these substances, although there's no evidence suggesting that these additives are harmful to babies, either. So the answer is yes, DHA and ARA are good for babies but just that whether your babies can absorb that extra amount while trading off some other nutrients like sialic acid!
