They tell you to avoid tuna since it's high in mercury as long as you're breastfeeding, and it passed through the breast milk. Just heard a news report on this.

The FDA recommends that pregnant and breastfeeding women limit their consumption of tuna due to the high mercury content. But you can buy minimal-mercury tuna. I buy it and it's very good. They sell it at JigsawHealth.com.
