Ahi tuna and breastfeeding?

Question

Tonight my husband brought home poke bowl for dinner and I ate a bunch of ahi tuna without thinking. I feel so bad and I'm freaking out. Should I give my 10 month old formula and pump and dump or is it still ok to nurse her? She won't take a bottle so it's going to be very difficult. I can't believe I let this happen. Opinions ladies?

Answer

You can eat and drink whatever you like. It's not harmful to your breast milk.

Answer

Are you worried about the mercury? If so a small amount of tuna is safe, if you are worried about it being raw the bacterium that is harmfuk to babies isn't typically found in fish. I eat sushimi salmon whilst pregnant and definitely whilst breastfeeding

Answer

Ive eaten poke while pregnant and baby is just fine... but if ur feeling unsettled about breastfeeding baby then I'd just pump and dump. Better safe than sorry.
