Need advice about an herbal supplement while breastfeeding.

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
DD is 22 months, and really only nurses at naptime, bedtime, and maybe 1 or 2 times through the night. I started feeling like I was getting sick yesterday, so I went to Whole Foods to get something to stop whatever this is in it's tracks. I was looking for elderberry syrup, but the woman who worked there suggested something different, it's a Wellness Formula. The link for the supplement is here on page 4 it lists the ingredients. I figured I didn't need to worry, but then I started thinking more about it, and thought bout the fact that I'm taking 3 tablets every 3 hours. I'm just concerned that all of the ingredients at high doses might cause a problem.... I'm probably just worrying over nothing, but just want to be sure. DD has not shown any adverse effects either. TIA!

I wouldn't take that high of a dose with a nursling because of all the Goldenseal and Ginseng. I personally would avoid it.

Is there any dose that you think would be safe? There is 15mg of Goldenseal Root, and 3mg of Goldenseal Root extract per tablet. I'm not finding Ginseng on the bottle, I see it listed as Siberian Ginseng on the link I provided, but I don't see it anywhere on the bottle. Thanks for the help.
