BF & Evening Primrose/Starflower Oil

[expatmama]

Hello, just wondering if anyone knows whether it is OK to take these whilst BF? Boots website says not without consulting a doctor first?

Want to take it as I have just realised how miserable i've been since DS2 arrived 3 months ago - feeling anxious / miserable / very quick to become very irritated with DS1 & DS2 / exhausted although DS2 is a very good sleeper / lethargic / unable to concentrate, etc, etc.

Am currently taking the mini-pill but will stop just in case it is that or it is exacerbating how i'm feeling, and thought about taking evening primrose and starflower for a bit to see if i feel better. If i've not picked up in a couple of weeks, i'll go to the doctor but surely this is worth giving a whirl first?

Thanks in advance.

Evening Primrose oil (from kellymom)....it doesnt mention startflower oil...you could try contacting a bfc from one of the organisations (LLL, NCT, ABM or BfN) Most will have access to info about medicines & remedies.
