Thyroid hormones are vital for your child’s brain and growth, and iodine is essential to make them. Deficiency can affect development.
Dr. Sunny Narula, Consultant Paediatrician at Motherhood Hospital, Mohali, emphasizes ensuring adequate iodine through iodized salt or iodine-rich foods like fish, meat, and dairy. If using pink or rock salt, always check it’s iodized!
Watch for signs of deficiency like shivering, constipation, dry skin, or neck swelling. Small steps today support healthy growth, brain development, and overall well-being.
