Breastfeeding and Calcium

I am trying to eliminate dairy from my diet as we suspect my DS might be sensitive (weeks of green slimy nappies).
However I have had a crap time with my teeth this pregnancy so need to take a calcium supplement. Can anyone recommend a safe brand that I can use while breastfeeding. I am a vegetarian too. Tried the wellwoman breastfeeding ones but they had iron which didn't agree with me.
Also any advice welcome for the green mucus nappies too!

Whichever supplement you buy, you need to make sure it includes vitamin K2 otherwise the calcium will not set in the bones and teeth but in the arteries.
I am vegan so buy most my supplements from iherb.
