Breast Milk and Infant Formulas
Iodine is also present in human breast milk. However, concentrations are dependent on the parents' iodine level. If a breastfeeding or pregnant person is deficient in iodine, the infant or fetus may also be at risk of iodine deficiency. Iodine deficiency in developing humans can result in physical and cognitive impairments.
Iodine is also found in fortified infant formulas but varies depending on the brand. For this reason, it is a good idea to check the product labels to ensure the levels are sufficient.
