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?
Re: XP: Protein Powder and BF
I have never heard of protein powder being unsafe for mom, unless of course your LO has MSPI in which case you may be out of luck.
Where are you reading it's unsafe?
After some more research I think it was more about the ones with added extras....supplements, sugar, etc.
As long as I find a good brand I should be ok,
