Previous CDC studies have shown that nearly everyone in the U.S. is exposed regularly to low levels of perchlorate. People are exposed through eating food, and drinking milk and water that contain perchlorate. Trace levels of perchlorate have been found in both breast milk and infant formula.revious CDC studies have shown that nearly everyone in the U.S. is exposed regularly to low levels of perchlorate.

When you add solid foods to your babyâs diet, continue breastfeeding until at least 12 months. You can continue to breastfeed after 12 months if you and your baby desire. Check with your childâs doctor about vitamin D and iron supplements during the first year.
Most babies are ready to start on solids between four to six months old, but every baby is different so please check with your pediatrician to determine your babyâs readiness. Personally, I started each of my four children on solids at five months old.onsult with your pediatrician on a good food schedule for your baby, but I like to offer a solid meal once a day for about 2-4 weeks; then, if your baby is ready, you can bump it to two solid meals per day. The rest of your babyâs feedings will remain the sameâeither breast milk or formula.
