nursing and detox

[rayelynn]

Me again. I was wondering about the safety of detoxing while nursing. I am and extremely SAD eater. I will post my "story" elsewhere, but wanted to know the dangers of detox while nursing.

thanks

I wouldn't do it; I wouldn't know personally but I was just thinking that it might affect your breast milk flow. I can't remember but I know we talked about this a long while back and I can't remember who, but someone made some really good points on this (another nursing mom)... I don't know what kind of detox your thinking of but I know that detoxing can be very tiresome on the body; also, there are simple combinations of fresh fruits and veggies you can eat and you'll be naturally cleansing the system without even knowing it (e.g. feeling tired or sick). I wold just recommend eating as healthy as you possibly can; make the choice to change the way you eat and that will cancel out having to do an detox while nursing; this is good for you and the baby, I bet you'll notice eventually that you feel much better on the inside. You can do it :)
