Pineapple

Pineapple is totally safe while breastfeeding! It's nutritious and won't cause any problems for your baby through breast milk.

Myth: Pineapple does NOT cause problems in breastfed babies through breast milk. This concern has no scientific basis.

There's no scientific evidence that pineapple causes issues in breastfed babies. The enzyme bromelain in pineapple breaks down in your digestive tract and doesn't pass into milk. Pineapple is a good source of vitamin C and manganese. Enjoy it without worry.
