Eggnog
Commercially pasteurized eggnog is safe while breastfeeding. Homemade eggnog with raw eggs carries Salmonella risk (to you, not your baby through breast milk). If it contains alcohol, apply the standard alcohol guidelines.
Store-bought eggnog is made with pasteurized eggs and dairy, making it safe for breastfeeding moms. Homemade versions with raw eggs carry Salmonella risk — not to your baby through breast milk, but to you. If the eggnog contains alcohol (spiked), wait the usual 2 hours per drink before nursing. Use pasteurized eggs if making it at home.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
