I don't think so. But moderate on everything is a good thumb rule in my opinion. I think children 2-3 years old get 433mg of DHA/EPA with a minimum of 145mg of DHA, 4-6 years old get 600mg of DHA/EPA with a minimum of 200mg of DHA and 7 years and older including adults get 650 combined with a minimum of 220 DHA. For pregnant women the DHA minimum is 300mg. Infant will receive enough from breast milk and formula. Eggs and fatty fish helps.

How much formula milk should a 2 week old infant be drinking? And how often should she be drinking?

A baby infant feeds can be variable. I would usually use this general formula to calculate the feeds.
