Camembert
Camembert is safe to eat while breastfeeding! Like brie, the avoidance recommendation is pregnancy-only — not a breastfeeding restriction.
Myth: Avoiding soft ripened cheeses like camembert is a pregnancy recommendation, not a breastfeeding one. Once your baby is born, these cheeses are safe again.
Camembert is a soft, white-rind cheese that was off-limits during pregnancy because of Listeria risk. Once you're no longer pregnant, Listeria cannot harm your baby through breast milk, so camembert is back on the menu. Enjoy it at room temperature for the best flavor.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
