Queso Dip

Queso dip is safe while breastfeeding! Whether it's the processed kind or a fresh restaurant version, this cheesy dip is a perfectly fine treat.

Queso dip is typically made from processed or melted cheese, chiles, and spices. Restaurant versions may use fresh melted cheese. Both are safe during breastfeeding — the pregnancy restriction on soft cheeses doesn't apply to nursing moms, and pasteurized melted cheeses are fine regardless. Enjoy with tortilla chips in moderation.
