Have you heard of postpartum thyroiditis? 🤔

It’s super important to get a FULL thyroid panel to assess your thyroid function post birth, particularly if you are starting to notice certain symptoms of postpartum thyroiditis

A full thyroid panel includes:
🤍TSH
🤍T4
🤍T3
🤍Thyroid antibodies

You can ask your GP if they will run these tests for you! If they don’t want to pop the T4, T3 & thyroid antibodies on you can say that your happy to pay for those, as they are typically covered by Medicare.

Let us know if you have any questions about your postpartum thyroid health ⬇️

Does your little one have eczema? It may be linked to dairy you are consuming in your diet!

We want to stress- eczema is not always related diet and various triggers can cause it!

When it comes to eliminating dairy- the strongest evidence shows that elimination of dairy in high risk breastfeeding mums (ie. food allergies, history of atopic disease, asthma) may reduce the risk of eczema. Eliminating dairy seems to be the only food that decreases this risk!

If you feel your little one has eczema and you are consuming dairy in your diet, symptoms may reduce after elimination of a minimum of 2 weeks (4 weeks is best!)

Remember dairy is present in a lot of foods:
🥛Milk
🐮Yoghurt
🧀Cheese (hard/soft/ricotta/cottage)
🍫Chocolate
🥤Whey protein isolate/concentrate
🍦Icecream/Custard
🧈Butter/Ghee

Topical remedies like oat baths and probiotics like LGG or vitamin D are also fantastic 🤍

Most importantly- please reach out to your primary care physician for assessment as topical medication or a referral may be needed 🥰
