Has anyone ever taken a tea called linaza, it is flaxseed, while breastfeeding?

Question

I just had a baby and my sister in law and mother in law said that I should take Linaza for the inflammation of the stomach. I have asked several people and they said that it is safe while breastfeeding. I am going to ask my dr but I also wanted to know if anyone has taken it and if so has it been o.k.

Answer 1

Flax is great for the stomach, but i must must must warn you, as a veteran home birthing mother, that after the babe's are born, and a couple days rest, i have always brewed up a cup of flax seed tea (ground flax seed + 1 cup boiling h20) - It has a very mild, creamy taste and it is a *very* effective stool softener, to take it east on my stretched out bod.  TMI?  Maybe.  Valuable information?  Definatley!

Is it safe while breast feeding?  Oh yes :)  In fact, you'll get those precious Omega 3,6,9's for the healthy brains!
