Mahi Mahi while breastfeeding?

lsleeper22 · October 2013

HI all,

I know fish is best limited while breastfeeding (especially white fish that is higher in mercury such as shark, swordfish, etc.) I typically avoid fish all together since I don't like a lot of it, but I do enjoy Mahi Mahi and was wondering if any of you BF mom's have ever asked your doctor specifically about Mahi?

From what I could find online it is a moderate level mercury culprit, but I would assume a one time thing wouldn't be a big deal. Today is me and my hubby's wedding anniversary so we're going out for dinner just the two of us. Although I'll likely stick to chicken or steak just to be on the safe side, I was just curious to hear others feedback on this.

TIA! Happy hump day!
