Can sushi be nursing moms?

If you are a fan of Japanese cuisine and are unable to deny yourself the pleasure of eating a couple of sushi or roll during lactation, you need to know about the safety rules:

  1. Sushi for nursing mothers should not be chosen from raw fish, but from salted fish. In raw fish you can often find friends of our smaller worms. Far to every restaurant can vouch for the complete safety of dishes from raw fish. Therefore, you should not take risks, and even more so - nursing mothers.
  2. When lactating to sushi, it is better not to add such spices as ginger and wasabi. They are too spicy and can cause an allergy in a baby. In addition, breast milk from them can adopt a specific taste and smell, which the child will not like.
  3. Do not experiment before your baby turns 3 months old. The likelihood of an allergic reaction is high. But even if the child reacted normally to sushi, do not abuse and eat them more often 1 time per week.

As for the prohibitions of doctors for any kind of fish products due to allegedly allergenic properties, it can be answered that chicken or cow meat is sometimes more dangerous because of its protein than fish. So, if you do not have an increased sensitivity to fish protein, do not deprive yourself of pleasure.

But, answering the question whether it is possible for nursing mothers of sushi, do not forget to mention that after the accident at the nuclear power plant in Japan, a lot of radioactive substances got into the sea. Therefore, one must be extremely cautious in choosing seafood and paying attention to the region from which they came.

By the way, the best option for breastfeeding will be self-cooked sushi. Fortunately, special rice and algae can be found today in almost any supermarket. The main thing is to use for sushi not raw fish, but slightly salted (for example, trout or salmon), do not overdo with other ingredients - sauces, red caviar and so on. In this case, you have more chances to enjoy your favorite dish, without fear of harming your baby.
