Sauerkraut

Sauerkraut is safe and a great probiotic food while breastfeeding! Fermented cabbage is rich in beneficial bacteria, vitamin C, and fiber — all good for nursing moms.

Sauerkraut is made from raw cabbage fermented with salt, which produces lactic acid bacteria. These probiotics are beneficial for gut health. The cabbage itself won't cause gas in your baby through breast milk — that's a myth. Sauerkraut is also a good source of vitamin C and K2. A nutritious condiment to add to your diet.
