Muscle building while breastfeeding?

Question

I’m 8 weeks PP and I’ve been working out every day just about since my doctor cleared me. I’ve already lost all the baby weight but I’m wanting to put on some muscle now and I’ve been looking into protein powders but I can’t find anything that’s good and safe to take while breastfeeding. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Answer

Look up Ora organics! I do the chocolate one because the vanilla sucks. It’s vegan and they were on shark tank! Safe for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and even to give to kids

Answer

Tropeka has an organic one specifically for breastfeeding ( not sure if only available in Aus or not). Blessed is safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding and taste decent but definitely not as nice as all the influences make it out to be

Answer

Why not just eat protein rich foods?

Answer

I love Bowmar nutrition. You can follow Sarah Bowmar on Instagram and if you have any questions about their products that you can’t find on the website,  message her. I’ve used protein powders for years and love the way these taste

Answer

Excess protein isn't the key to building muscle; it's eating in a healthy calorie surplus (not just protein, you still need a balanced diet), and most importantly lifting heavier and heavier bit by bit to stress your muscles. This healthy stress is what causes muscle growth, not an abundance of protein

Answer

Eat lean meats. I would recommend supplementing unless you were lifting really heavy￼
