Acupuncture

Acupuncture is safe while breastfeeding. No substances are introduced into your body — it uses thin, sterile needles that don't affect breast milk. Some lactation consultants actually recommend acupuncture for issues like plugged ducts, mastitis, and low milk supply, though evidence for these uses is limited. Choose a licensed acupuncturist who uses single-use sterile needles.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
