Abalone is not safe for pregnant women. It feeds mostly on algae, which sometimes produces toxic by-products that can cause poisoning.

Abalone is okay for new mums to eat. Rich in collagen, it can help improve the appearance of stretchmarks. However, watch out for allergic reactions.

As a milk booster for many breastfeeding mothers, abalone can be eaten with caution, as it can trigger allergic reactions in both mummy and baby.

Abalone is not suitable for babies under the age of 11 months.
