Hi all! I've recently (finally) gotten back in to exercising on a regular basis and was just wondering if there are protein shakes that are ok for nursing moms?
*Lurking from J16* I tried all different kinds of protein while BFing but I found all of them bothered LO's stomach & gave him diarrhea. I switched to using cartoned pasteurized egg whites and they didn't bother him at all!
Whey protein gives us both some GI issues. I use Orgain, which is plant based (Vega is another plant based brand). Costco carries it, but I buy direct from the company because I want it completely unsweetened (I don't particularly like the taste of stevia).
Personally, I'd stay away from anything with artificial sweeteners (sucralose, aspartame).
