Supplements while nursing

[annettej123]

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?

Not sure about shakes, but I love larabars. Super yummy protein. They're organic, raw, vegetarian, you name it! My favorite is cashew cookie. 2 ingredients only - cashews and dates. They are so good. I get mine in the cereal aisle, of all places, at our local grocery stores where all the energy/protein bars are. Congrats on your baby! How old?

I used protein powder smoothies when I nursed & was pg. Protein, as you know is a natural part of our diet. I tend not to be relaxed about pg & nursing (no alcohol or drugs of course). Moderation is the key. Just one protein supplement per day should be fine.
