Do sushi and breastfeeding go together?

Wondering if the list of dietary restrictions is as long as it is during pregnancy? Here's everything you need to know about eating sushi while breastfeeding.


  • Rest assured that many of the foods that are forbidden during pregnancy are safe to eat while breastfeeding, and sushi is one of them!
  • Most fish are no longer a problem.
  • Some fish, however, may contain heavy metals and other contaminants and are not forbidden, but to avoid any risk for your baby, it's recommended not to exceed a portion of 150 grams per month.
  • Among the most concerned and most common fish in this group are shark, swordfish, and tuna (except canned tuna).
