Pad Thai

Pad Thai is safe and delicious while breastfeeding! It's typically made with rice noodles, eggs, bean sprouts, and your choice of protein — all breastfeeding-friendly ingredients.

Classic Pad Thai contains rice noodles, eggs, bean sprouts, green onions, peanuts, and a tamarind-based sauce. All of these are safe while breastfeeding. If you have peanut allergy concerns in your family, ask for it without peanuts. Restaurant portions can be high in sodium, but this is a nutritionally reasonable meal.
