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.
Starting solid foods is a great milestone for your baby. They are excited to try new tastes and textures. But solid foods need to be introduced to your child when he or she is ready, usually around the ages of four and six months. Until then, formula and breast milk is exactly what your child needs to grow and develop.
