Fried Rice

Fried rice is safe and filling while breastfeeding! It's a satisfying combination of rice, eggs, vegetables, and protein that makes a good meal for hungry nursing moms.

Restaurant fried rice is typically made with day-old rice, eggs, vegetables, soy sauce, and your choice of protein. All standard ingredients are breastfeeding-safe. It tends to be high in sodium (from soy sauce), so staying well-hydrated is helpful. A filling, energy-providing meal that's a reasonable restaurant choice.
