    Prenatal vitamin question

    I always took mine before bed, and not on an empty stomach. Never knew I was doing all the wrong. Also wanted to add, if you have a Marsh in your area, not sure where you are from that they will fill a prenatal prescription for 1 year for free. Some new promotion that they are doing to try to...

    Supplements while nursing

    I am looking for a good protien shake that is nursing friendly. It would be so helpful to have something healthy that I could just grab when we are rushing all over the place. Does anyone know any that are ok to take while nursing?

    post-partum inches vs weight loss question

    I am in the same boat. Back in my clothes for the most part, but not back to my weight. I don't get it either. Kudos to you for getting your workouts in and eating clean! I hope you see the results you are looking for soon!

    Help with weaning/discomfort

    If you think it is because you are still producing milk, try taking sudafed, a lactation consultant had me take that after I weaned because I dried up on one side before the other. And it worked quickly.
