Dear bOHP Subscribers, 

As early as infancy, the foods and drinks that children consume can have lasting effects on their overall health and development. A panel of experts, including the American Academies of Pediatrics and Pediatric Dentistry, have published new recommendations on liquid intake for infants and children through age five. We invite you to explore this latest edition of the bOHP newsletter that highlights these most recent guidelines.

Dear bOHP Subscribers,

We hope that your fall is off to a great start. This month, we highlight an article published in the Maternal and Child Health Journal that addresses iron deficiency in children ages 1 to 3. Sufficient dietary iron intake is critical to brain development in children of this age, and studies have shown children with severe early childhood caries are twice as likely to have low ferritin levels and six times more likely to have iron deficiency anemia. This new study (subscription required) found an interesting link between dietary iron and calcium levels, bringing back the connection to oral health.
