Protein shakes and BF

maiastar

Does anyone know if you can drink protein shakes while BF? I used to drink one for breakfast everyday before I got pregnant and I would like to get back into that. I would have soy milk, a scoop of protein, and frozen fruit.  I am just unsure if the protein powder is safe for BF?

Go for it!!!  As long as you're using a standard 100% whey, there's nothing to worry about..  If you were using something like "GNC RAW" then there are things to consider like "performance enhancing substances" that it contains.  But just regular protein powder, nothing at all to worry about!!!

My Dr. ok'd it while I was pregnant, so I am assuming it is ok BF'ing... I am using it.... it is 100% whey

Just opt for something that's completely natural.
