Hello!
I am a distributor for Shaklee, so this is a topic I love to talk about. Shaklee has a powder vitamin for children that are 6 months to 2 years old. From 2-12 we recommend our chewables.
During the time that you are breastfeeding, we don't feel it is necessary to give your child vitamins, since he is getting his nutrients and vitamins from you. I would make sure that you are eating lots of fruits, vegetables and enough protein.
While breastfeeding you should be eating at least 500 more calories per day just for the baby. Shaklee has health calls each week that discuss different life situations and we have a recorded call on breastfeeding. Most of these calls are done by doctors. Let me know if you would like me to send you the info on how to listen to that call
I have never breastfed, since my son is adopted. But, I can tell you that I am very passionate about nutrition. He does take vitamins and protein shakes every day, as do I.
My mission is to share information with others that will help them to create healthier lives for their families and a healthy environment at the same time. Let me know if you need anything!
