Creatine
Creatine hasn't been studied in breastfeeding women, so there's no safety data to confirm it's appropriate. It's best to hold off until after weaning.
Creatine is a popular sports supplement that supports muscle energy. While it's generally considered safe for healthy adults, there are no safety studies in breastfeeding women or effects on infants. Creatine does transfer into breast milk in small amounts. The Infant Risk Center advises caution due to lack of data. Given the gap in evidence, most providers would recommend waiting until after weaning.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
