Wheat / Gluten
Wheat and gluten are safe while breastfeeding for most moms. Unless your baby has been diagnosed with celiac disease or a wheat allergy, there's no need to go gluten-free.
Some moms worry that gluten might cause digestive issues in their baby through breast milk. For most infants, this isn't a concern. Celiac disease requires gluten exposure through solid foods to manifest — it isn't triggered by breast milk. If your baby shows signs of food protein intolerance (blood in stool, severe eczema, persistent GI distress), talk to your pediatrician about next steps.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
