Tom Yum Soup
Tom yum soup is safe and actually quite nutritious while breastfeeding! This aromatic Thai soup is typically made with shrimp or chicken in a lemongrass and lime broth.
Tom yum features a clear, tangy broth made with lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, and lime juice, usually with shrimp or mushrooms. Shrimp is a low-mercury protein choice. The spicy chili heat won't bother your baby through breast milk. The warming, herb-rich broth is hydrating and flavorful.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
