In my pregnancy I took adequate amount iodine because woman’s
thyroid gland is working harder, she needs extra iodine so she doesn’t become iodine deficient. This is because the hormones it produces help the growth of the unborn baby’s brain and nervous system. After birth, breastfed babies depend on breastmilk as a source of iodine, which keeps babies brains and nervous systems developing. If iodine deficiency in breastfeeding mothers can also be a risk for babies and in pregnancy if iodine deficiency then it can lead lot of problems in babies.
When I was pregnant and breast feeding the doctor recommended me to intake an iodine of 150;microgram;per day.
