I have not had sushi for a long long time and I want to have it righ after giving a birth in August!!! But I am wondering if it is OK to eat raw fish while breastfeeding...Does anyone know?

I did and both children have lived to tell the tale. In fact, my husband did check with the midwives at the hospital before he brought in my goodie bag (chamagne, foie gras, smoked salmon, sushi, parma ham and roquefort). In fact it was probably a bigger hit than my 'big gift'. I think I waited until I left the hospital to hit the shellfish.

to continue...
but it is really up to you.
I do not drink alcohol or caffeine or eat chocolate.
And I have found the following don't work for me now either: curry, garlic, chili, broccoli, corn.... all irritated baby! Even though I ate them all throughout pregnancy!
Other people will have their tea or glass of wine, and yet others will avoid a lot more food. I think it really depends upon you and how the baby reacts to what you are eating.
Good luck, you must be almost ready to give birth!

Generally I think if you are worried, just make sure you don't eat such stuff right before breastfeeding. Take it after your last feed of the day or something.

hi MM just make sure it's really fresh so as you don't run the risk of getting sick (as with any food)If you get food poisoning then you might not be able to breastfeed.

TC - your post made me laugh!
Everytime I am out with the baby in the sling, we seem to go for Sushi!
The reason is I can eat with just one hand, and it is cold, so won't burn baby if I drop it...
And yes, I have fed at the restaurants... and probably snuck a few pieces of sushi at the same time to feed me.
