McDonald's Burger

A McDonald's burger is safe while breastfeeding! Fast food is not the most nutritious choice, but there's nothing in a standard burger meal that will harm your baby through breast milk.

McDonald's burgers are made from beef patties, buns, cheese, condiments, and vegetables — all breastfeeding-safe ingredients. They're high in sodium and saturated fat, but an occasional fast food meal is completely fine. The exhausted new parent who grabs a drive-through burger should feel zero guilt.

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