Is it safe for breastfeeding? How many mg and what brand does everyone recommend?
the packet didn't recommend it, because it can prevent nutrients getting from your digestive system into your body so not good hwen BF
Hm, that's unfortunate. :( I was hoping to put off weaning for a while longer but it keeps looking like I will have to early. He only feeds about 1-2 times a day, usually just once. Is it still not good for that?
honestly I don't know... there are a lot of things that are probably OK when breastfeeding, especially when BF is reduced, but as you'd expect companies are reluctant to do tests on them just in case
I'm taking Chitosan n still bfing
He has formula n solids n s 1 yo. Just mostly feef to sleep at night n through the night. I think he should be able to get his nutrients from formula n food now. How old s your baby
He's gonna be two this month. Not really a baby anymore haha.Quote:

But no flaxseed for any bfp babies
I was told to take fybogel when I had just had my baby as I was having difficulties. Doctor didn't say it was a problem whilst bf-ing. There is nothing on the packet that mentions bf-ing and I've just discovered it contains aspartame so that's good. It may be that fybogel is milder than other fibre supplements and that's why it was suggested for me... It does also contain sodium and potassium but that might be a good thing? Knowing you are getting a bit of everything from somewhere...
Found this about drugs you can use while bf - Safe Medications While Breastfeeding, Virginia Womens Center
I've just gotten benefiber.
Thanks!
