A member asked:

Hi, i am 16 weeks pregnant & breastfeeding my 11 month old. is it safe for me to eat poppy seeds?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: While poppy seeds can turn a urine drug screen positive, I am not aware of any reports of it causing people to have drug-like effects.

Stop breastfeeding.: There are risks of prematurity and poor fetal growth if you breastfeed while pregnant - stop this asap. Poppy seeds are not contraindicated.
