  • I think you can. Just watch for any kind of allergic reaction in the baby.
  • When I was breast feeding my son who's now 7 I had a pasta salad with crab meat and he broke out in hives. I heard that eating shell fish is not ok while breast feeding but not 100% sure
  • Thanks I really been wanting some and my parents are coming over Saturday and bringing them but wanted to make sure it was okay first
  • I actually googled it because I was curious...it said NO foods are off limits to a breastfeeding mother unless your baby has a negative reaction to it. So, enjoy!!
  • Enjoy! Just be careful, they can have a reaction to any food you eat.
    My mom ate lobster a lot and when I was born and she was breastfeeding me, she realized that everytime she ate it, I would get sick and throw up. So she had to stop while breastfeeding me. And no, I do not have allergies towards any shell fish today. It was just not setting well with me while I was a baby
