What I Wish I Had During Postpartum Brain Fog:

Why I Built Clarity

There’s a particular kind of panic that hits at 2:07 a.m. You’re half-asleep, your baby’s finally down, and you’re holding a bottle of supplements you barely remember ordering — wondering if one of them is going to mess with your milk.

I was looking for a reliable breastfeeding supplement safety checker — but it didn’t exist.

I remember flipping the bottle over, scanning the ingredient list like it was written in another language. Sunflower lecithin, ashwagandha extract, “natural flavors,” magnesium bisglycinate...

I just wanted to know if it was safe while breastfeeding — not spend 30 minutes parsing Reddit threads.

I opened four tabs. Found conflicting advice. Closed them all.

That night — groggy, postpartum, trying to be responsible but running on 3 hours of sleep — I realized I didn’t need more opinions. I needed a tool that could just tell me: Is this okay while nursing?

5 Things the Internet Gets Wrong About Supplement Safety While Nursing

The internet loves bold claims about lactation supplement safety — but if you’ve ever tried fact-checking at 3am, you know not all advice is reliable.
Here’s what gets repeated — and what’s actually true:

1. “Natural = safe.”

Plenty of herbs interfere with milk supply. (Hello sage, peppermint, parsley...)

2. “If it's sold at Whole Foods, it’s fine.”

Nope. Most supplements are not tested for breastfeeding safety — even the pretty ones.

3. “You’ll know if your baby reacts.”

Not always. Some reactions (eczema, fussiness, congestion) show up hours or days later.

4. “It’s just a vitamin.”

Even simple formulas can include sweeteners, fillers, or “proprietary blends” that aren’t transparent.

5. “You’ll figure it out.”

Eventually, maybe. But you deserve better than guesswork — especially when your brain is foggy and your baby is depending on you.

Check your supplement label with Clarity — the breastfeeding ingredient checker built for parents. No noise, no guilt, just answers.
