Shawarma

Shawarma is safe to eat while breastfeeding — it's well-cooked roasted meat served in pita with vegetables and sauces. Choose reputable restaurants where meat is freshly sliced and cooked through. The garlic sauce (toum) and tahini are also fine. A great protein-rich meal for busy nursing moms.

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