I'm wanting to take a probiotic i am nursing my 4 month old son will this affect my milk supply or be harmful to his health at all?

They're fine: Probiotics are perfectly fine to take while nursing! congratulations for making it 4 months with the nursing. Make sure as you get to warmer weather to get plenty of fluids as well. Also, some studies suggest probiotics work best if they are natural within foods such as yogurts, so consider adding them to your diet this way and not just as a pill or additive.
