Pregnant mothers are often cautioned against eating seafood since high levels of mercury can be damaging to mom and baby. However, fish are an excellent source of DHA and there are several fish varieties that are safe. These include salmon, shrimp, sardines, tilapia and canned light tuna in limited quantities, among others. If you choose to introduce seafood into your diet while pregnant or breastfeeding, ensure that the fish is cooked through and always check with your doctor before making substantial dietary adjustments.
