Sugar-Free Diet

Reducing or eliminating added sugars while breastfeeding is perfectly safe and actually beneficial. Naturally occurring sugars in fruits and dairy are fine. Just make sure you're eating enough total calories — 'sugar-free' shouldn't mean 'calorie-restricted.' Your breast milk will still contain lactose (milk sugar) regardless of your dietary sugar intake.

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