Best not to use this: Creatine is used as a dietary supplement to increase muscle mass and improve exercise performance. Breastmilk levels of creatine have not been measured after supplement administration in humans. Creatine is converted into creatinine in the mother's and infant's bodies. It may increase the infant's serum creatinine, which may alter readings of the baby's kidney function. Best not to use this.

Effects unclear: There is limited information on the effect of creatine while breastfeeding and how it may affect your baby. Creatine is a normal component in breastmilk, but whether taking extra creatine can lead to unwanted effects is still unknown.
