A member asked:

Can you eat cookie dough when nursing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You shouldn't: Salmonella is a huge risk for infants as this is one of the infections that is very much dependent on how mature your immune system is. As much as i may be with you in enjoying cookie dough, the raw egg is way too risky for salmonella infection which may be nothing for you but could be a quite serious illness for an infant.

Dr Pizzo and another doctor agreed
