btw... why do u prefer low DHA milk? my hubby keep worrying that my breastmilk got not enough DHA, due to my reluctance to eat fish. so he keep trying to persuade me to give the baby some formula with rich DHA.

DHA won't come with milk no matter what happens. Mostly are injected in by chemical process.
Tell your hubby that there's no problem on feeding baby with high DHA chemical milk, the most is their IQ will remain at 3 years old when entering primary school. No big deal anyway.
You like it or not, please start to eat fish. Teach you some tips on preparing high DHA fish(salmon).
Buy a microwave oven, use auto menu and grill the salmon(best is cut with the thickness of 1 finger or 1cm). Grill it about 5 minutes(depending on power), make sure the meat's color just change. Over cook will result to bad smell and hard.

Some scientists have studies showing that the 'man-made' DHA and ARA in infant formulas not only DO NOT improve IQ or eye functions, they also induce gas and indigestion in SOME infants. Read the report below about the 'supposedly' scandal involving the FDA in the US and Martek, the company holding the patent for chemically-manufactured DHA/ARA for use in infant formulas:

Most formulas nowadays have DHA/ARA, some less, some more... unless you choose those organic ones. For me, I am still using formulas with DHA/ARA for my babies as they seem ok with them; with only occasional wind and spitting, which is common even with some babies on breast milk.
As parents, we make decisions based on all the information that we can get. Sometimes we can never tell whether the information fed to us is absolutely true or not.
