Clotted Cream

Clotted cream is safe to enjoy while breastfeeding. This thick, rich cream (55% butterfat) is a traditional British accompaniment to scones. It's made by slowly heating cream, which also pasteurizes it. Like all dairy products, it provides calcium and vitamin D. It's calorie-dense, which can actually help meet the extra energy needs of breastfeeding.
