Hemp Seeds
Hemp seeds are safe and a nutritional powerhouse while breastfeeding! They're a complete protein source with an ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, making them one of the best plant foods for nursing moms.
Hemp seeds (hemp hearts) contain about 10g of complete protein per 3-tablespoon serving, along with a healthy balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and zinc. They contain negligible levels of THC — far below any threshold that could affect breast milk. Hemp seeds are an entirely different product from marijuana and have no psychoactive effects.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
