Did you baby’s 12 mo lead test come back high?

Question

I saw a video of metals being attracted out of baby food with a magnet and now I’m worried for my son! I know the ped said that they get tests done at 1 year old for lead and other things. Did your baby get tested and how did the test results come up? 
Are you avoiding prepackaged baby foods?
Does your baby drink from the tap? 
Thanks!

Answer

I saw this video as well but it has been debunked. The person literally put magnets in the food themselves. I never did a lead test for my LO and I wouldn’t worry too much about it if I were you. Do the test though if you feel anxious.

Answer

That video was a fluke there is iron and baby oatmeal but it is supposed to be there that's how your baby starts getting iron if you decide to do cereals and puree's first. If you blw then baby will get iron from the everyday foods that they're eating.

Answer

It came back high but turned out the lab machine was miscalibrated or something that day because the office noticed way more babies than usual were testing high. So they did the test again at her next appt and her levels were normal.

Answer

Lead comes from the drinking water or other environmental factors, not baby food
