Protein drinks when breast feeding?

Hey guys,

Is it ok to have protein drinks when you're breast feeding? It's not for weight loss purposes - I'm not getting enough protein at the moment and am feeling it.

There is a women specific powder brand that I've used before which is really good.

Does anyone else use them or know if it's ok?
I did a google search but don't usually trust that.

Cheers

it's fine - it's just another way of getting protein. BTW most women get adequate protein in their diet so they are not something most women would need, but if you have specific issues which mean you can't get enough protein from your diet they are fine.
