Does anyone know if Congaplex is safe while breastfeeding?

There is nothing on the packaging or bottle itself mentioning that it is not safe to take while breastfeeding. If it helps you to decide at all. I have taken it while breastfeeding and I give it to my toddlers. Ages 2 and 4.

I can't imagine why it wouldn't be. Just to be on the safe side you might check with a holistic health care professional. or Consult Standard Process, Inc. They do have a website. Good luck!

Yes it is safe!! Have a midwife who prescribes a wide array of Standard Process products simply so she can have something safe (health-producing!) and effective for her moms. We love it, and use it on everyone (mamas and babies!) They make a chewable tablet too, if you have littles.

The best thing to do is check with your doctor. I avoided almost everything while I was breast feeding. It is a safe product, all natural but I don't know how it would affect your milk.

Yes. My healthcare professional says it is perfectly safe. Even safe for babies, though dosage is different.

Hi Debra, This was the only bottle that my 4 month old breast fed baby would take. It still wasn't an easy transition since he had previously been only breast fed. We left him at my in-laws house over night and went "cold turkey" switching him to the bottle. Then my husband did all the following feedings for a couple weeks by bottle while I pumped. A hard transition... but I don't think we could have done it without the comotomo bottle.

Im sorry, I bought this for an adult as a gift they asked for, so I can't be sure if it is safe for a baby's face. The only thing I can say is that even if it is organic, it is not necessarily tear-free, and the tea tree oil could sting the baby's eyes as well.

I am wondering if you took this while you were breastfeeding? Or did you decide against it??

At my best count there are 20 natural ingredients in Congaplex. It is a 'Whole Food Supplement' made by Standard Process, Inc. in business since 1929. They have a website that lists their products alphabetically. I believe the listing includes ingredients in each product. I have used Standard Process products since about 1980 when my research revealed they recommended a product combination for an ailment I was experiencing. That led me to Dr. Bruce West and his publication Health Alert. I was born in 1930. My mother taught me to be health conscious. So now I take no prescription drugs - nor any over the counter, including Aleve. I am in sound health which I attribute in large part to what I have described - Standard Process and Health Alert. Dr. Bruce West's service helps with indicating which supplements are of particular benefit. It can be a bit overwhelming, but can be managed with applied kinesiology techniques. These can be learned. What I have written applies to any of the several Standard Process products that I but regularly from Amazon. I believe there is a way for you to contact me or any interested person for further information by letting Amazon know you found my answer helpful.

--Absolutely! Many of our Mom's breastfeed while their babies are in the Magic Sleepsuit. When my kids were little, I would leave the front unzipped and folded down until they were done nursing, then I would burp them, zip them off and put them down for the night. Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions at 877-458-0130.

We used it for formula just fine both Gentlease and Nutrimigen. Of note I didn't try it with the thicker AR formula which has rice starch for acid reflux. It works okay but it is easier just to by the interlock tube and a syringe as we were given at the hospital by the NICU nurses. We found that because our baby was used to the flow of that syringe and it was easier to control---this was too slow and hard to adjust in terms of flow. We only used it a few times before going back to the old system were I tapes the tubing from a syringe to my breast.

Yes. I have used Huggies, Pampers, Parents choice wipes with this warmer and never had an issue.

My wife breast feeds and so she just gives a drop everytime she feeds our baby. We haven't tried it in formula. Sorry

not sure how other nursing covers are - but i bought this for my wife and i'm always comfortable when she uses it to nurse our baby in the public. the fabric is stretchy but also highly breathable, so our baby is safe and usually falls right asleep inside of it, while being fed. my 2 cents.

When you cradle a baby in your arms, is the infant's back flat? answer: no! Both my grandchildren have used this and as far as I can tell are perfectly developed. But if you are a freaked out mother then perhaps this product is not for you to use. Both my grandchildren loved this and slept peacefully as though they were cradled. You will have to decide on your own if this would be harmful to an infant. Or, call your pediatrician and ask them.

I called the number on the bottle and asked if I could take it while pregnant. They said yes! I took it early in my pregnancy because I was taking antibiotics for strep throat. Now my son is 2 months old and doing great. I have also taken it while breast feeding with no problems.

Hi Meg, I have an 8 week old (baby#3) and I have been using it as an all over moisturizer. Keeps skin nice and soft with consistent use. This oil and the Badger Baby Balm works pretty well for cradle cap too, although nothing has compared to pure jojoba oil. That's only my experience though, what works for one baby may not work for another. Hope that helps a bit.

I am a DDD as well and I´ve had no issues with it. I am using it with my second child. The material is great and I do not think is has a narrow construction as someone else pointed out. I recommend you get this one. Is very sturdy, I feel save putting my kids in it. And for as mothers with big boobs, it makes hands-free-breastfeeding pretty convenient.

I hope not. I bought it because i read it did not. I think i saw it on the healthy child healthy world website. It gets overwhelming trying to figure what chemicals are in baby products. I suggest asking naturepedic.
