Protein meal replacement while nursing?

I had been eating clean prior to pregnancy and have maintained a somewhat clean diet over the last 9 months. I am due August 7th and my husband has just started body by vi which is really just a protein meal replacement. They suggest replacing two meals a day with the drinks. 

My question is, does anyone have experience replacing meals with protein shakes while nursing? I know it is important to eat a variety of healthy food while pregnant and nursing, but I used to have a protein/ fruit & veggie shake for breakfast or a snack while I was eating clean...is it safe for the baby while I am nursing as long as it's not the majority of my diet?

    Sounds fine to me... After all, if it were dangerous for a unborn baby, I would think it would have to be on the label...

    I would not try to replace any meals with shakes immediately postpartum. Wait until your supply is well established. Reducing calories too much can negatively impact your supply.
