Breastfeeding

I am looking for a thread on breastfeeding and can't seem to find it. My first question is, does it sway pink? My next question is can I take Saw Palmetto while breastfeeding? My 10 month old only nurses 2-3 times per day.

a)I believe it sways pink, threads here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...stfeeding.html and here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...stfeeding.html

b)no, you can't use saw palmetto while nursing. I do not think it gets the results to justify ANY level of risk, even if distant.

Breastfeeding sways more pink than saw palmetto, so take comfort in that :)

I was upset that a lot of the supps were out of my reach because of breastfeeding, at first, but LE diet+exercise+one attempt is getting amazing results for pink. Add breastfeeding in and that's a solid sway!

Thanks ladies. What about Vitex?

I *think* Vitex is safe for BFing, I think mamas sometimes use it to encourage their cycle to return. But wait until Atomic confirms that. I vaguely remember reading it.

And yes, it's thought that breastfeeding sways pink. There are plenty of women who have blue while breastfeeding, but if you "add" it to a sway of dieting and exercising, it can tip your balance a bit too. I have a girl from a breastfeeding sway (and we will see in March if the second breastfeeding sway is also a girl).

Does it matter how much you are breastfeeding or does breastfeeding at all sway? DS3 is 10 months and if we continue beyond a year I know he probably nurse as much. Maybe a couple times a day.

I was BF my 3 yo DS2 as part of my sway. He nursed once or twice a day, if that. I'm guessing BF more often would sway harder, based on the fact that it lowers fertility more, but anything is helpful :)

I'm just wondering if I should push up my seat so I can use breastfeeding part of it. Thoughts anyone?

From what I read in he above link from atomic is breastfeeding can inhibit ovulation, especially if nursing every 4 hours in the day and every 6 hours at night. So more may not be better.

I believe vitex to be safe when taken during breastfeeding in the 2w on, rest of cycle off pattern. I'd not take it all month and I'd not use it with a baby younger than 9 months (even though admittedly I did so back when I didn't know any better.) I took it twice when BF and got one b 1 g, which doesn't sound great but then again I got 3 boys without it.

I do think V sways pink but the stats are not great and BF has gotten better results than V.
