BLT Sandwich

A BLT is safe and satisfying while breastfeeding! Bacon, lettuce, tomato, and bread — all completely breastfeeding-friendly ingredients.

A classic BLT contains cooked bacon, fresh lettuce, sliced tomato, and mayo on toasted bread. All ingredients are safe during breastfeeding. The mayo (even made with pasteurized eggs, as commercial mayo is) is fine. A filling, easy-to-eat sandwich that works great during the newborn phase.
