Sushi Burrito

Sushi burritos are generally fine while breastfeeding! Just be mindful of the fish type — stick to low-mercury options like salmon and shrimp, and go easy on tuna.

Choose low-mercury fish; limit tuna to 1 serving/week
A sushi burrito is essentially a large sushi roll served burrito-style. The same guidance as regular sushi applies: raw fish is fine for breastfeeding, but mercury content matters. Salmon, shrimp, and cooked options are the best choices. Limit tuna to one serving per week. The large size means you may be eating more fish than you realize, so factor that into your weekly fish intake.
