Hi Carol

Thanks for the reply....I breastfed my other 3 children so I know the basics.

All the Enfamil supplements did was make your milk richer in DHA/ARA or

whatever they put in formula nowdays. Im really not wanting to take any herbs

at

all. I also know that you can find these ingredients in fish.... which I

hate. I was just looking for them to check the price. It isnt formula.. it is

a

supplement. Again thanks!

I've been to the Enfamil website just because this peaked my curiosity.

They aren't showing that they have a supplement for the mother either prenatal

or postnasal. Their nutrition part of the website emphasizes healthy

foods......no supplement listed at all. Also, when you go to the " products "

section,

there are no supplements listed there either. Maybe this was a

misunderstanding or something.

I ordered the Enfamil supplements from their website -- it was about

$30 for a 90-day supply (no charge for shipping.)

Seems to be similar to the Coromega, but it's from a non-fish source

(same as the infant formula).

There wasn't a ton of info on their website, so when it gets here

I'll read a bit more about it. I'll also pass it by the

nutritionist at my surgeon's office to get her take & let ya'll know.

Have a good day!

Well I did find them.. I didnt mean to cause a big controversy.. I was just

curious about the product and with my diet lacking in several areas I didnt see

where taking this would hurt. It is a DHA supplement and is supposed to

support brain and eye development in babies...and it is a gel cap that you take

along with your daily prenatal vitamin. Pretty much the same thing they have

added to the new infant formulas. True we have survived for years without such

a thing.. and I have 3 other girls that have turned out just fine without

it.... it is also known that women had healthy babies without prenatals for

years

too... it is just something that I personally wanted to persue.. and did. Now

for those of you who arent interested.. please ignore the following. But for

those of you who are..

I found them at Walgreens.... and they were 15.99 for 30 caps.

Thanks again for the replies

Where are you finding it on their website? I've been through it and can't

find it, even on their products page.

Last I heard you can only get them via the Enfamil website. They are basically

omega-3 supplements from what I have learned about them.

New Enfamil supplements

Anyone heard of the new supplements that enfamil makes?? They are supposed

to be good for those of us planning to breast feed. I have been looking for

them and wanted to know if they were by prescription only or if the stores

where

i live just dont have them yet.. if anyone knows.. please reply.

Here's the link to the supplements on the Enfamil website:

http://store.enfamil.com/expecta_lipil.html

It's $12 for a 30-day supply; $31 for a 90-day supply. I ordered

the 90-day supply over the weekend (no shipping charges), and the

package arrived today. It also included a $1.50 coupon on a future

purchase.

The details from the side panel are: Serving size is 1 softgel --

calories -- 5. Contains 200 mg. of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid from

Crypthecodinium cohnii oil).

Hope that helps!
