Is it true that it's ok to drink protein drinks while nursing?

Yes!: Within reason. No one needs more than 100-120g of protein per day. A protein shake or two will not harm a nursing baby at all! my favorite are eas carbvantage with 17g of protein, 1g fat, 2.5 g carbs. Many flavors!

Why?: Dr namey is correct in emphasizing that too much protein supplementation is unnecessary and potentially dangerous. If you are eating normally, why would you need to do this?
