Can I have Gainful protein powder while nursing?

Protein powder can be a great addition to your diet while nursing, since protein and calorie needs are increased during this time.

If you and your baby are not allergic to any of the ingredients in your protein blend, you shouldn't experience issues with it. You can view your full ingredients list and nutrition facts by logging into Gainful.com

Some of the protein blends we create contain a small amount of caffeine, which you may want to avoid if you consume caffeine elsewhere in your diet, since caffeine should be limited while nursing. If you'd like to change the ingredients in your blend, email your dietitian by going to the RD Hub on your profile.

We always recommend consulting with your physician before taking any supplements if you are pregnant, nursing, or have any medical conditions.
