Fermented Foods (General)

Fermented foods — yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, tempeh, and fermented pickles — are safe and potentially beneficial while breastfeeding. They're natural sources of probiotics that support gut health for you, and emerging research suggests maternal probiotic intake may benefit the infant's developing microbiome through breast milk. Enjoy them freely.

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