Soy Lecithin
Soy lecithin is a common emulsifier found in chocolate, baked goods, and many packaged foods. It is safe to consume while breastfeeding. Importantly, soy lecithin is highly processed and contains minimal soy protein — making it generally tolerated even by those with soy allergies. Sunflower lecithin is also safe and is actually sometimes recommended to breastfeeding mothers to help prevent plugged ducts.
📈Lecithin (especially sunflower lecithin) is sometimes recommended to help prevent or relieve recurring plugged ducts by making milk less sticky.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
