I really would like to know what's good for a nursing mama. I asked the breastfeeding forum but maybe I'll get better luck here!
Right now I'm taking a multivitamin and
This past week I bought a magnesium/calcium combo.
Is floradix good while nursing?

I'm nursing and pregnant. I don't take extra iron.
This is what I take for supplements:
3 capsules Thorne's Basic Prenatal
30mg Zinc
2000 mg Vitamin C
2000 iu Vitamin D3
200 mcg Selenium
1 capsule Vital Nutrients B6+B Complex
1000 mg MSM
1 capsule Vital Nutrients Adrenal Support
1 tsp Nordic Naturals Arctic-D CLO (not consistent)
Papaya enzymes, as needed for reflux

I may be adding in a few more capsules of Adrenal Support (I'm supposed to be on 4) here soon as well as a Cal/Mag supp.
I'm under the care of a ND, who has okayed the use of these for me. I have a few health issues which we're working on (including hypothyroidism, for which I also take Armour thyroid), so YMMV.
The concern, I believe, when it comes to nursing is that some things are concentrated in breastmilk and some nutrients can facilitate the release of toxins into the bloodstream (and therefor the milk). I could be wrong, but that is my understanding.

I would make sure I had vitamin D...at least 2000 IU. I'd have my hydroxy 25 D checked actually knowing how important that is now. You can (should) also supplement the baby at 6 months--400 IU per day.
Do some research on vitamin D.

I'd make sure I had iodine. Other supplements would be pretty particular to me. Those are what I would suggest for you.
Are you iron deficient? If you aren't there is no need to do floradix.

my personal opinion is only do what you deem necessary for yourself. especially if you're nursing or pregnant. less is more i think...
