Are there any nursing moms out there who use protein shakes to supplement a meal or even just pre/post workout? My son is almost 7 months old so milk production isn't really an issue at this point. I've been reading about them, but I'd like to hear from those who are already taking them. Or if anyone else knows why they should or shouldn't be taken, I'll take any information & advice.

Thank you :)

    I make protein shakes for lunch every day. Even when I was pregnant, I used them. My baby is now 4 months old and I'm still breastfeeding and I'm still having my protein shake every day. I've never heard anything bad and my doctor told me that it was perfectly okay to keep on having them.
