Don't make the mistake of thinking that more is better. Ingesting more iodine than your body needs can result in diarrhea, intestinal cramping, accelerated heartbeat, insomnia, irritability and headaches. A deficiency is no better -- lowered metabolism (weight gain, cold hands and feet), lowered immunity, poor quality sleep, low to non-existent sex drive, PMS, poor digestion, constipation, falling and/or greying hair, brittle nails, iron and vitamin A deficiencies. Pay attention to your body -- and your baby's -- to find the optimum level for the both of you while you are breastfeeding.
