Nutrient Highlight: Iodine
Iodine is an essential mineral during all stages of life! ❤️ Iodine supports the thyroid by producing hormones necessary to regulate metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature. 🌡️ Iodine is also important during pregnancy! Regular iodine intake helps form the cerebral cortex, neural pathways, and hippocampus, helping your baby’s cognitive development! 🧠

The body cannot store iodine for long periods of time, so try to incorporate iodine regularly into your diet! Dairy, seaweed, and seafood are all plentiful sources of iodine. 🐟

Did you know? Your baby’s skin can play a role in whether they develop a food allergy! Even before your baby is introduced to solids and new foods, they can still come into direct contact with food allergens through their skin. If this happens regularly, it may increase their chances of developing an allergy to that particular food.

Studies show that while eating an allergen early can protect your baby from that food allergy, but if that same food touches their skin regularly, it can actually raise the risk of an allergy.

So how can you do to help protect your baby’s skin? We suggest: Wash your hands after eating, especially if the food you ate is a common allergen. Then wash your hands again before touching your baby’s skin, such as during diaper changes or when putting on lotions or creams.
