4. Pregnant supermodel walks the runway with a baby bump!

Pregnant Indian supermodel Carol Gracias broke down the model stereotype by walking down the runway with her baby bump at the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai. She wore a green and pink sari (by Indian designer Gaurang Shah) that showed her bare baby bump. This is a first time that a pregnant model has walked the ramp at an Indian fashion show. In the past, however, international fashion labels such as Karl Lagerfeld and Dolce & Gabbana had pregnant women walk the ramp in the hopes to make fashion more inclusive for women of all shapes and sizes.  (mashable.com)


5. FDS wants to limit arsenic in baby rice cereals
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is concerned about the potential health risks from arsenic in infant rice cereals. In 2016, an analysis linked relatively high levels of inorganic arsenic in pregnant women, which could be the cause of adverse pregnancy outcomes and decreased cognitive performance in children. The agency tested 76 samples of infant rice cereals and found that only nearly half met the proposed inorganic arsenic limit of 100 parts per billion (ppb). More than three-quarters of the samples had levels at or below 110 parts per billion. (today.com)
