A member asked:
Can i take a betacarotene supplement if i'm breastfeeding? what about evening primrose oil?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and yes: Beta carotene and evening primrose oil are both very safe and are useful nutrients for your baby as well as for you. Consider taking a supplement containing DHA, en essential oil from fish, as this is very important for your baby's neurological development.
