Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Iodine is poorly absorbed when used as intended. Iodine that reaches the systemic circulation crosses the placenta, and excess iodine is harmful to the fetus: iodine use during pregnancy has been associated with goiter, hypothyroidism, respiratory problems, enlarged heart, tracheal compression, and neonatal death.

Iodine is excreted in breast milk. The use of excessive doses of iodine in breastfeeding mothers can increase iodine levels in breast milk and cause transient hypothyroidism in infants. The use of iodine, even when applied topically, is generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
