This made me LOL. My son is a maca baby. Congratulations on a healthy birth, btw.
I don't have specific experience with chaga, but I have been frustrated by the dearth of information on which plants/weeds/herbs are ok/safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. A couple of things I have found that are helpful in solving these riddles when you can't find specific studies--one, check to make sure that the herb in question isn't an emmenagogue, aka contains compounds that can stimulate the uterus and encourage bleeding. Two, see if you can find out whether this herb is known to cause liver damage; this can be confusing, since studies on things like comfrey or yarrow have been a bit skewed. But if you can find someone(s) who have used it for years, that's another great resource that might help you make your decision. Researching traditional uses and restrictions of the herb can also be enlightening.
