Mustard (Allergen)

Mustard is safe to consume while breastfeeding. While mustard is recognized as a major allergen in Europe and Canada, there's no reason to avoid it unless your baby has a confirmed mustard allergy. Mustard proteins can pass into breast milk in trace amounts, which — like other food proteins — is generally thought to promote tolerance rather than sensitization.

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