Naicin/nursing

[Guest guest]

Well I did my first dose of niacin(250mg) and had a MAJOR flush to the

point my son would not nurse.

I had bumps all over. My entire body was also red. I was burning up.

I hope that if I take the niacin after a big nursing that that will

hold him till the flush is over.

Any other suggestions?

Also will he get it through the breast milk and flush too?

Thanks

Kara,

the dose of niacin is 50 mg two times per day. Yes some people are talking

more but most of them worked up to that level over a period of time.

As for the breastfeeding, all bottles of real niacin I have ever encountered

have a warning

about taking it while breastfeeding and I know that the Niacin headache

study showed that large amounts

of niacin is passed into the breast milk.

Even if you took it after a big feed it will still be in your breast milk in

large quantities when it came time

to feed again.

==>Why would there be warnings about taking niacin when breastfeeding

when everyone's body makes niacin?
