Can I safely consume protein powder while breastfeeding?

Whilst a healthy, unprocessed, balanced diet is highly regarded during lactation, it can be challenging to eat enough to match your high caloric requirements. Especially when you're busy caring for a new-born!

Throughout pregnancy developing babies take nutrient donations from their mother's body, especially of calcium and magnesium. As you are nursing this process continues.

Demands for other nutrients including protein also significantly increase. Protein powder can be very helpful in your situation because it is quick and easy to prepare, consume and digest, will help rebuild protein stores, promote muscle growth & contribute to weight loss if taken with a supportive diet.

It is important to ensure you stick to a product that is high in quality and free from artificial ingredients. Aussie Bodies Perfect Protein Natural is 100% pure whey protein concentrate – unflavoured and free of any additives.
