Energy drinks: Absolutely not. The taurine in these drinks puts such unnecessary strain on your heart that it is not even safe for you. Imagine slamming your baby's heart with a sledge hammer. That is what an energy drink is like to a baby!

Not a good idea!: It is safe for you but taking an Amino Acid supplement can alter the Amino Acid content in breast milk and mess with babie's liver and pancreas.

See answer: Eating a healthy diet while breastfeeding is important: what you eat determines the energy, protein, nutrient and vitamin content of your breast milk. But because contents of Amino Acid supplements (aas) vary; branched-chain aa may be harmful; and scientific information about the use of aas while nursing is very limited; always better to play it safe and avoid and discuss first with your ob-gyn md.
