Protein supplements for breastfeeding mothers

**stupidhippo** · 09-18-2006, 08:29 AM

I was wondering about this since my wife is breastfeeding our 2 month old daughter and counting her protein intake one day I realised its far from optimal. I remember also reading a warning from one of my protein bags that say it shouldnt be given to preggies or breastfeeding mommas. I cant think of any reason y this is (if the bags contain what they are supposed to). Anyway I was still wonderign if anyone here knows about this. Are protein supplements safe for a mama who is breastfeding..
