It’s fine in moderation. The main concern for breastfeeding isn’t because it’s raw, it’s because of the mercury content of the fish. However, since it’s raw, there comes the issue of contamination if you don’t practice good hygiene...

Yes. The only concern is food poisoning which may affect you. Some mothers take it because it is one of their milk booster

Hey, I would suggest to avoid eating seafood during pumping as sea food has little higher mercury content

I would not do it. I will keep my diet healthy as I am transferring milk nutrients to my baby

I’ve eaten salmon but would avoid the seafood high in mercury

I think it's OK I had and my baby is alright
