Iron

My iron levels dropped during labor. Because of this I've been taking an iron supplement since then (my DD is now 4 weeks old). ?I stopped taking them a week ago b/c I thought they were making my DD constipated. ?Is there a web site where I can check meds. and how they affect breast milk?

    kellymom.com has a good list.  I would also recommend talking to an LC.

    I lost a lot of blood during my C-section and was put on high dose iron supplements twice a day. I understand everyone is different but my daughter has not shown a sign of constipation and I have exclusively BF. Just thought I'd share my experience.
