Trying To Gain Weight. Breastfeeding. Safe To Use Mass Gainer Protein Shakes While Breastfeeding?
Hi, My name is Tityana. I have a two month old son at home and I am breastfeeding. I have been trying to gain weight since after his delivery so I bought this Mass Gainer Complex from the health food store to help. It is used to make protein shakes and has 50 grams of protein in it. However, I haven't used it yet because I am not sure on whether it is safe or not to drink while breastfeeding my baby. I wouldn't want to use or do anything that can possibly be harmful to my son's health so my question to you is, is it safe to use this protein shake while breastfeeding? I

Hi,
There is no harm taking Mass Gainer Complex powder as it good food supplement with all necessary ingredients like protein, carbohydrates and fat with all essential multivitamin supplements.
This will give nutrition to your child as well.
After starting this powder if there is a problem of having loose motions to your child then you may stop or take less dose.
Ok and bye.

Dear Tityana,
Most readymade protein shakes are safe for use by adults, but I would check the label carefully for food colours, additives and preservatives inside. If these are present, it might be best to avoid such powders while you are breastfeeding.
