Yes. You can enjoy tunafish. As a matter of fact, some moms find that when they eat tuna, they have a better milk supply. Probably because of the EFA's.

Nanny,
When I was pregnant, I went to buy tuna at Costco in California. The entire aisle was covered with warning signs about the mercury in canned tuna, and it's potential negative effects for pregnant women.
Don't know who's right -- them or you -- but I DO know that once the baby's born, there's no concern either way. =D

It is only fresh tuna that is a concern regarding mercury and not canned tuna at all! Were you under a misconception all during your pregnancy and didn't have canned tuna? AWW, you should have asked me! Go make a sandwich and enjoy!!!

Dear New Mom:
Breast feeding mom can eat tuna or any other health delicious dish they wish , its good for the baby. Just chek the can label for expiry dates and if it got nitrities. Nitrites and Nitrates are put into canned and perserved food for longer self life! If your can label says no then its ok to eat it. You and your baby both will be health and happy.
But things like susages and smoked things are not great for you and for baby.
Love Sanam

till your toddler shows a sensitivity to a undeniable food, you may eat something you delight in. (babies are not often stricken by using fish, yet eggs are a enormously effortless allergin.) shrink tuna to a pair of cans a week (by way of mercury), yet otherwise, eat what you like. EDIT: There at the instant are no ingredients you ought to immediately stay away from. you may eat despite ingredients you like. It is clever to shrink caffeine (by way of fact it could make toddler unsleeping), and alcohol (a million-2 beverages at a time is positive -- no ought to pump and unload afterwards). And, of direction, a healthful, balanced weight loss application will help you experience extra effective (and help you lose the babyweight)-- so shrink the junk. previous that -- eat a classic weight loss application. in case you notice that toddler is fussy/gassy/cranky once you eat a undeniable food, attempt removing it for some days (as much as week for ingredients like dairy products and eggs -- it could take that long for the proteins to be cleared out of your physique) and spot if it enables. yet, opposite to fable, you do not ought to immediately stay away from noticeably spiced ingredients, or garlic, or brocolli, or chocolate or beans. ingredients that make YOU gassy, dont' make toddler gassy. And the kind of flavors that bypass into the milk introduce toddler to the extensive international of ingredients, so once you initiate solids, she'll be much less in all probability to be choosy. (in certainty, one learn stumbled on that babies drank extra milk after mom had eaten garlic!)

Tuna is safe to eat so long as you don't overdo it since it does contain traces of mercury, which is harmful to your baby.
