That means they are getting twice as much fluoride than the recommended amount. I breastfed my children (or was pregnant) for a total of 7 years while drinking fluoridated water. I've had health issues which I attribute to being over-fluoridated, adrenal fatigue and arthritic symptoms. These symptoms have gone away since I've stopped drinking fluoridated water. I just want to warn other breastfeeding mothers to consider drinking non-fluoridated water while breastfeeding. Fluoride is also found in juices (especially high in grape juice), carbonated beverages, and in fruits, vegetables, and grains (as residue from sodium fluoride used as a pesticide).

I am glad to see this posted somewhere. When my daughter was born we were told to use fluoride water when mixing her formula (as I could not produce milk)now she has permanent white spots on her baby teeth, due to excessive fluoride in her diet when her teeth were forming and erupting from the gums.
