Edamame
Edamame is an excellent snack or starter while breastfeeding! These young soybeans are packed with protein, fiber, folate, and iron — all nutrients nursing moms need.
Edamame is simply steamed or boiled immature soybeans. They're one of the most nutritious plant foods available and a great source of complete protein and key micronutrients. Soy is safe for most breastfeeding moms — the small subset of babies with confirmed soy protein sensitivity is the only exception. Most commonly served lightly salted, which is fine.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
