Chia seeds?

Question

Im EBF and was making energy balls and it calls for flax seed and chia seeds. I read not to eat flax seed but can I use chia? I looked it up and can’t find a reason why not but there’s not a website that I’ve found that’s definitely reliable. Have any of you asked your drs?

Answer

Both are great while breastfeeding.

Flax is high in healthy fats and chia is high in protein.  Both have tons of health benefits and are great while breastfeeding:)
