Hi there! I am currently breastfeeding but wanting to start my next girl away. Does anyone know if cranberry or cinnamon capsules are ok? What about fiber supplements? I also did myo-inositol last time, is that safe to take while breastfeeding? TIA!

No cranberry, no cinnamon.
How old is your baby?
11 weeks, thank you!!
But the myo-inositol would be ok right (probably pregnitude)? Last time I did femara but I assume that’s not safe while breastfeeding but I read clomid can be taken while breastfeeding, do you have any experience with that? Thanks again!!! You’re always so helpful and it’s greatly appreciated!
Following this thread too pretty to see if it's safe because I want to take myo inositol and clomid too while breastfeeding
Not at 11 weeks. I want you guys to wait till at least 6 months, and better yet 9, before taking anything.
And when you start the myo and the fiber, please add in a separate vitamin drop for your nursing baby that contains DHA and Vit. D
Thank you!! Yes, her pediatrician has had me do the vitamin drop since she was born, so all good there. I think we’ll give it a go this summer and if it doesn’t work, do HT in a couple years. I know you can’t predict, but would you say that breastfeeding and so soon postpartum is as effective as femara?
Thanks Atomic- I'm not doing anything right now I'm waiting until my first ppaf which be at least 6 months pp.Quote:

No. Mint will dry up your milk and also comes through your milk and can affect your baby's hormones which they need for their development.
Again, I can’t thank you enough!! I searched but couldn’t find info on caffeine free coffee that might help my girl way. Idk how many cups of regular coffee would be safe
We assume (based on a few different reasons) that it is coffee itself, NOT the caffeine, that sways pink. I have had several people use decaf coffee when they couldn't do caffeinated and they got girls in a similar breakdown to those drinking caff coffee.
But due the the scarcity of data I have those who can use it still do caff coffee just in case it has any benefit. but fine to use decaf. It's likely the coffee itself.
Is it ok to continue the folate?
Fine to take 1200-1600 mcg folate while nursing.
You’re the best!! Thank you!!
Hi again!! I just wanted to ask (sorry, it totally sounds like I’m trying to have my cake and eat it too) but now that DD is almost 15 months do you think it is ok to use low dose spearmint? I’m still breastfeeding but found the spearmint really helped with body hair issues I have (it’s so demoralizing and upsetting). She mostly nurses at night so maybe taking a small amount in the morning might be ok? Thanks again!!
My concern is that a small amount won't be enough to do anything for the hair but will still dry up your milk. It feels to me like a potential risk for no benefit since a small amount isn't really enough to affect you.
It's probably fine since she's nursing once a day or so and is bigger now, but I can't find any hard data on how long it stays in your milk.
You’re the absolute best! Thank you! I see what you mean!
