Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!
Unfortunately we don't have enough reassuring data on the safety of collagen supplements during breastfeeding.
These may contain impurities such as toxins or traces of heavy metals.
So I don't suggest taking them until you have weaned the baby off your milk.
Hopefully you have been helpful, please feel free if you have any other questions!
