don't flame me

[samadhisoul]

I have convinced my partner to do the Master cleanse -or some type of fast (finally)
he is starting today and I, of course, will support him
thing is, I want to do something too-even if it is just a little bit.
I am nursing my year old, and she is about 60/40 with bm/solids (raw)

what do y'all think? has anyone else ever done ANY type of cleanse while breastfeeding?

I wouldn't recommend any kind of fast or cleanse while breastfeeding. I have read that in many holistic books and articles as well.
When your body releases more toxins during fasts/cleanses it can enter
your breast milk and then your child.
Hope that helps. Maybe you can help support him in other ways that would
be appreciated.

In all of my fasting books they all recommend not fasting when you are breast feeding, as Punky said your body will be releasing more toxins during a fast and also your body and breast milk need all the nutrients you can get through a healthy diet. I hope this helps and that your partner has great success in fasting!
