hi. i have a 7 month old daughter whom i am still breastfeeding, and i just wondered if the fish oil suppliments will flavor my milk. do i need to just wait until i wean her (at about 12 months), or will my milk still taste the same for her?
thank you for your time.

Fish oil supplements will definitely flavor your milk. However, I think that's a good thing, because DHA in particular is critical for infant brain development. Of course check with your obstetrician or natal nutritionist first.

I do recommend that women who are pregnant or nursing use fish oil from one of these two companies:

or

http://www.zonelabsinc.com

Both of those brands are of the highest purity. Don't take regular drugstore fish oil when pregnant or nursing because any contaminants will be passed to the baby.

Also, as I say in my book, don't expect your libido to increase until after the baby is weaned. Lactation hormones are Nature's birth control! You might see some improvement.

I am SOOOOOO encouraged, because I am seeing much libido improvement with the fish oil (still working on my carb addiction and sweet tooth...)and I am currently nursing my 8 month old. I'm still exhausted and I still don't initiate sex, but once we start... it IS better!CAN'T WAIT to see what happens when I wean her!!!!!!!

Very pleased to hear it!

Again, I stress that only the highest quality fish oil should be used by pregnant and breastfeeding women and check with your obstetrician or natal nutritionist.
