I didn't use flax oil but I did use flaxseeds. I would add 1 or 2 tablespoons into my smoothies. I also took a vegan DHA supplement, which I continued to take while breastfeeding.

Yeah, if I can remember! I squirt a bit into my morning oatmeal or sometimes add it to a smoothie.

I used a liquid flax oil while pregnant. (and now). I squirt some on pasta, oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, salads, etc. It's very mild tasting.
