    Default Question

    Maybe the question should be is eating processed foods safe while breastfeeding?

    Really we're not talking about some weird fad diet here; we're talking about eating real unprocessed, from nature, foods. There are many here and elsewhere bringing up beautiful healthy children raw. If you do some searches on the forum you're bound to find many posts on this topic. It makes for great reading!

    Congratulations on being here and asking questions!

    Cheers,
    Sheryl

    Raw is wonderful while breastfeeding. May I ask how long or where you are in the raw process? If not raw yet, than I would transition into a raw diet.
    You do not want to detox to fast and release too many toxins into your breast milk. But do eat RAW every meal with perhaps some cooked organic vegan grains.
    Then taper to a mainly raw diet.
    Hope that makes sense. Just my humble opinion.
    Warmly, Punky

    Tanya,

    I started raw cold turkey with my last baby, she was about 6 months old.. I continued to nurse her til about 15 months and she was just fine.

    Actually I am 14 weeks pregnant and just started raw cold turkey again last week. I am doing fine and have had no detox symptoms which I thank the Lord because then I don't have to worry about the baby during detox. I have felt great!

    So yes, you can start raw and you will do great! You'll be surprised at how much milk you produce :)

    Yes, Alissa's book covers it.

    But, Alissa put a section on this forum called "Need to know more about raw?" that answers those basic questions.

    Just go to the Home page for this forum (click under the orange, above) and look at the list of sections. You'll see it there.

    When you click on it, you'll see a number of threads in which Alissa put the information to get you started while you wait for delivery of her book.

    Default Raw Mommy BreastFeeding

    I AM 95% RAW and was pregnant & are now breastfeeding.
    My son is now 6 months old & has never been sick! No Ear Aches, Cold, Flu Ect.
    He is happy EVERYDAY! My first son I breastfed & he was a mess! I was not RAW with my first son & MAN what a difference. He was colic, NEVER slept through the night! NEVER! Was always a unhappy baby ... I think it had to do A LOT with the processed foods, Food Coloring, Ect in my diet.
    My 6 mo son's Doctor said he is one of the most Happy, Healthy babies he has ever seen..... I told him about the Raw Lifestyle & he agreed "What ever your doing KEEP IT UP" He noted most babies have 6-10 illnesses within the first year... WOW! What a wonderful feeling to know your not only doing YOUR body good but you future life of your litle one. We have the power as mothers to make sure our Kid's will be well for the future.
    LETS UNITE MOMMIES!!!! :)
