A member asked:
Is it dangerous to a baby if i eat flax meal while breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flax breastfeeding: Flax seed meal is probably safe during breastfeeding as long as you don't take more than a normal supplemental amount of 2 tablespoons or so. Too much can decrease breastmilk supply due to estrogen effect. It can be a good healthy source of brain healthy fats, however, and is recommended on several health forums.
