Dumplings

Dumplings are safe and satisfying while breastfeeding! Whether steamed, boiled, or pan-fried, these filled dough pockets are a perfectly fine choice.

Dumplings come in many varieties — pork, chicken, shrimp, vegetable, or mixed fillings. All common dumpling fillings are safe during breastfeeding. They're typically high in sodium (especially with dipping sauce), so balance with water intake. A satisfying and comforting choice for hungry nursing moms.
