Lemongrass (Culinary)

Culinary lemongrass — the stalks used in Thai curries, soups, and stir-fries — is perfectly safe while breastfeeding. It adds wonderful citrusy flavor and is a staple of Southeast Asian cooking. This is very different from concentrated lemongrass essential oil, which requires more caution. Normal cooking amounts are no concern at all.

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