Cashews

Cashews are safe to enjoy while breastfeeding! They're a great source of magnesium, zinc, and iron — nutrients nursing moms need plenty of.

Unless your baby has been diagnosed with a tree nut allergy, there's no reason to cut out cashews. Current allergen guidance encourages a varied, nutritious diet during breastfeeding rather than restriction. Cashews are also a convenient, satisfying snack that can help keep your energy up during the demanding newborn weeks.

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