Protein Powder and BF?

Is there a safe protein power while BF? I keep finding conflicting info online and was wondering if anyone had actually asked their doctor (though many of them have no clue about that kind of stuff).

I used to love adding some to my smoothies and oatmeal plus I definitely need the extra protein. However, it doesn't sound like the two mix...not sure if theres a brand that might be safe?

    I don't see any reason why pure protein powder wouldn't be safe. I like the whey one from Jarrow; I bought it on Amazon.  I would avoid anything with added fake sugars, which many of them have, or anything with supplements added.  My LO was sensitive to soy, so I couldn't use a soy protein either.

    Thanks, I'm not sure where I got that info. It might be more in reference to brands with added things. I'll have to check out some brands.
