Is it safe to take a probiotic while breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Probiotics are just bacteria, the healthy kind that live in your intestine and similar to what you might find in yogurt. While some medications are unsafe in pregnancy and with breast feeding, probiotics generally are not.
