Quick question....
...I know that through the breastmilk, babies eat what mommy eats. With that in mind, I plan to start back to a work out routine tomorrow and would like to also add back protein shakes. My husband bought some powder that is a combo of protein from milk and soy. It does not have a lot of other "stuff" in it like some other powders do.
Do you think having a protein shake is safe for baby? Has anyone else used them while breastfeeding? What kind did you use?

Sharon, what kind of work-out routine? Has your doctor approved it? Because it's REALLY early to be considering this after having a C-section (it's usual to wait *at least* until your six week check. Your abdominal wall has been cut and the muscles have been sewn back together. You really do need to be very careful).
If you want, we can talk about this in the Post Partum thread.

Yep, I am cleared for everything EXCEPT abdominal wall exercises. I'm not planning to jump back to what I was doing before I was pregnant, but I want to start gradually with cardio and strength training.
But really, I'm interested in hearing about the protein powders and its effect on breastfeeding.

Soy is a common allergen, so if it was me I'd be concerned about that.
Is the milk part of the shake whey protein or something else?

It should be fine, Sharon. I took them while nursing, it didn't have any detrimental effect on my milk. It shouldn't, really.

When I was breastfeeding my ds, lots of things seemed to affect my milk. I guess it perhaps just varies from person to person, even from baby to baby.

Sharon, I think that if it is the straight protein/whey powder it is ok. I'd stay away from any mega formulations (even if just protein) and anything with "stuff" added to it. Personally my preference would be to make smoothies with a lot of plain greek yogurt and some fruit. That stuff has a pretty high protein content and stay away from the powders altogether though. Have you checked the box? Mark has some that specifically says it is not for pregnant/nursing women.
This is the first place I have ever heard of rice allergies. I know 3 children IRL who have severe food allergies and/or intolerances. Two are siblings who together are allergic/intolerant of over 15 foods (including seeds, spices, oils, dairy, wheat, corn, soy). The third doesn't process dairy normally and is gluten intolerant too. All 3 can eat rice and have been encouraged to do so by their specialists.

A normal whey protein powder should effect things anymore then drinking milk does, in theory anyway. Soy is no more risky then whey, so if you aren't avoiding one I wouldn't bother avoiding the other, kwim?
Really though, you can get enough protein without a shake. It just requires eating a couple eggs or a bit more chicken breast.

Do you nurse from both sides each time or just one? Is she sleeping, or just sucking lazy while awake?

Donna, I nurse from both sides. One day I tried nursing from only one side for 20-25 minutes each time but was miserable...then the LC told me I should have pumped the other side afterwards to avoid that. I may try that again.
Something else she's doing is after the fast flowing milk is gone, she pops off several times during the next 5-8 minutes. Sometimes when I try to latch her back on, she won't latch and she'll even fuss some.
I know I've breastfed before but it was a TOTALLY different situation so I feel like a newbie!! I guess I thought once they were latched, that was it for the nursing session. But Audrey has to be relatched several times.
I'm honestly not sure if she's falling asleep or just lazily sucking...probably just lazily sucking.
