 I have read that some side effects of taking Vitamin B6 is it can decrease milk supplies in some women. I did not find this to be true for me. I also was told by a mommy from my online message board that when she took Vitamin B6 while breastfeeding it changed the color of her breast milk to a bright yellow color and suspects it might have changed the taste of the milk. She was not exclusively breastfeeding on the breast, so that might be why she was more aware of color than I was, since I almost always breastfed on the breast for the 30 months of breastfeeding I did with my toddler. I never noticed myself any color change to the breast milk while on the Vitamin B6. However, the main difference is that mommy had a baby that was around 3.5 months of age and I was extended breastfeeding a toddler who was eating table food. Age might play a factor and just the child in general to how sensitive they are to the taste of breast milk based on what you consume. We suspect in her case, it had to do with her infant having a sensitive digestive system. From my experience, my toddler never seemed to have aversions to my breast milk while taking any supplements or while being pregnant. I was also informed by a local midwife, that the dose size affects whether or not it decreases milk supply. She said large doses for an extended period of time can affect supply.

Here is the cycle I found out I was pregnant!
