Xylitol

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol found naturally in many fruits and vegetables. It's widely used in sugar-free gum and dental products due to its cavity-fighting properties. It is FDA-approved as GRAS and safe to consume while breastfeeding in typical amounts. Like other sugar alcohols, large quantities may cause digestive upset. Keep it away from dogs, who are extremely sensitive to xylitol.

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