Sucralose / Splenda

Sucralose (sold as Splenda) is a non-nutritive sweetener made from sugar that is poorly absorbed by the body. Only a small amount is absorbed and an even smaller amount reaches breast milk. Current evidence indicates it is safe to use in normal amounts while breastfeeding. It's one of the most commonly used sweeteners and has a good safety record.

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